New Hospice Care Store

Come down and see!

Plans for Hospice Care Corporation's updated thrift store have been in the works for some time, as the old one had simply outgrown itself. The new location, at 317 Market St. in Fairmont, WV, has several improvements, as described in a story by Channel 12 WBOY's Lisa Robbins:

The new thrift store is located at the corner of Market Street and Columbia Street, and is about twice the size of the original store.

"We wanted an opportunity to have a larger space so we could have some furniture and larger ticket items that would increase our sales, and be things that people really want," said Cynthia Woodyard, VP of Public Affairs for Hospice Care.

The non-profit uses the money it makes at the stores, and puts it towards people who need hospice services but are unable to afford them.

"My parents both died from cancer, and I was the caretaker. I know how important it is for people to have that opportunity for hospice care because it's so demanding on the families," said volunteer Sharon Curry.

"This is a way for the community to give back to its friends and families. All of the merchandise in this store is donated by people in the community," said Woodyard.

Hospice Care Corp's nonprofit services are entirely funded by donations, fundraisers, and purchases from this store. Come on down for good deals and a good cause!
