Michelle Payne, owner of Fox's General Store, says donations come in and out of the store daily.Michelle Payne of Fox's General Store has set up a donation rack in her shop where anyone can come in and get a winter coat or a pair of mittens for free. The community support has been heartwarming, said Payne — but it's also sad.
The idea was inspired by her own grandson. Payne saw how quickly he was growing out of his winter jackets and thought it'd be great to have a place where people could exchange them. But this year, with the high cost of living, Payne is seeing a whole lot more people in need, and the donation rack has taken on a life of its own.
People are donating every day, she said — snowsuits, jackets, winter boots and hats. She's even had a pair of skates show up at the store.
