The Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice Thrift Store provides a pleasant shopping experience to the community by selling quality clothes, household items, furniture and books at reasonable prices. As an end result, the thrift store is able to help support local hospice services.

Hospice is a special way of caring for people with terminal illness and their families. Hospice affirms life and regards dying as a normal process. Care is provided in the home or a homelike setting by a team of volunteers. Funds from the thrift store help Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice assure families that services are available to all those in need.

The thrift store:

• offers customers good value and a pleasant shopping experience
• maximizes the use and value of donated merchandise
• generates funds to help Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice assist the terminally ill
• increases community awareness of the hospice philosophy
