Good Neighbour Community Market, located at 149 Fifth Avenue S.E., is just steps away from the Bow skyscraper and Chinatown. It will offer donated clothing, books, houseplants, household goods and non-perishable food items. "It's been really exciting and inspirational … especially after a really hard year, feeling isolated and withdrawn from the community." (Helen Pike/CBC)Lam said the market sprung from a previous initiative, a free community fridge set up in Crescent Heights. She said she hopes the market can become a community hub, and possibly offer services like financial literacy lessons for community members or artists' studios.
