The coat rack opens every Nov. 5 at Eureka The Everything Store in Princeton
When Sandra Dalgleish discovered her daughter was living on the streets after battling addiction issues, she decided she wanted to do something to help the community as a whole, especially those who are unhoused.
However, in 2021, Dalgleish’s daughter died and the concept of the coat rack became a permanent structure outside the store starting every Nov. 5. “I noticed we have had some seniors come and grab a few items, pillows and blankets. So, this isn’t just for those who are homeless; this is for seniors who can’t afford things or anyone who can’t afford to turn up their heat,” explained Dalgleish.
“We have noticed that everyone who walks by from a lady with her dog, to maybe someone homeless, helps out and picks up items that might have fallen off the rack if it is after the store is closed,” said Dalgleish. Dalgleish said she has had clothing from all over Canada shipped to Princeton to help keep the coat rack filled with winter items.
“Last year we had a very kind lady in town who picked up everything that had holes in it and she stitched up everything and brought it back,” explained Dalgleish.
