Mrs. Jalbert, who is also the one responsible for operating, with the help of volunteers, Threads in the lower level of the Manitouwadge Museum to which profits are donated explained that they were aware of the need to share donations with the Diabetes Clothesline which has been collecting gently used items donated by Manitouwadge residents for many years “Because we have a limited amount of space we are able to rotate inventory regularly, when new donations come in, we bag the old inventory and pass it along to the Clothesline to ensure that nothing is being wasted and everyone benefits”. Mrs. Jalbert was involved with a similar initiative in Ignace, where she lived before coming to Manitouwadge and when she moved here and saw an opportunity to assist with fundraising for the Museum while providing a much needed service to the community she jumped on the opportunity.
