The “Community Cabin” was acquired by renting the former Smithers Feed Mill on Griffin St. in 1990. The owner of the building, Dominic Ferari donated the use of this space for a donation receipt. At the Cabin, volunteers sold used clothing, toys, dishes etc., which had been donated to W.L.C.C.. The store was open 3 days a week, and brought in extra income. Volunteers worked under less than ideal conditions, especially during the cold winter months. When the Township of West Lincoln purchased the building in 2002, and tore it down, the Community Cabin was forced to close.
It is noted that in 1992 that Margaret Merritt and Bev Matajese purchased clothing for the Christmas Store, as they continue to do today; pajamas, socks, underwear and waterproof gloves are the main clothing items purchased.
