If you’ve ever come across well-kept toys and stuffed animals at Selkirk MCC Thrift Shop, Marjorie Sawatzky might have had a hand in what you found. Marj has been a regular at the Selkirk MCC Thrift Shop for decades. When she was a teacher at a nearby school, she would stop by the shop in search of toys and other materials for her kindergarten classroom. Now retired, she volunteers at the shop to continue giving back to the community she once taught in.
