James said she and the volunteers hope to open the shop within 14 days. As soon as we get everything on the floor, we'll try to open up. Hury said there are two stores in Gainesville, which is how Hospice pays for charity care and grief programs in that city. We have nice things, and people can come and buy nice things and feel good about taking them home and wearing them. We hope the Hospice Attic is received well in Lake City and we want to see how well it does.
People can drop off donations to the store during business hours.
We are definitely looking for volunteers who can do that. The shop will have household items, gifts, toys, clothes, jewelry, and occasionally furniture and office equipment. We don't take items that are broken and we don't take mattresses. She said volunteer efforts was a chief reason the Hospice Attic became a reality. Those volunteers included an interior decorator, people and businesses who donated paint, signs and we have a whole committee of volunteers who are hanging, ironing and collecting clothes.
