Sand Hill Adult Day Program Opening an In-House Thrift Store

The day program has always been extremely fortunate to have items donated to us. However, we have not always known what to do with them. Now we do. We have cleaned out the spare room and have set it up as a thrift store with shelves, cabinets, and a clothing rack. It is open to the Day Program members. The best part is everything
is free.

The members will not only visit the store at least once a week, but they will be encouraged to be the caretakers of it; overseeing the sorting, sizing, folding of the clothes donated. The members will dust the Knick knacks and
organize the jewelry, etc. We hope this will jog their memories for those that worked retail or used to visit the thrift stores. In hopes of encouraging involvement. Those who volunteer will get to shop first.

As a rule, the thrift store is not open to the public, however, it is certainly able to assist people in need. We often have walkers, wheelchairs, shower chairs, portable toilets, depends, etc. Please call Cindy Mitchell (302) 212-4482 if you are in need or have any donations to make.

To add to the theme of the thrift store, we are having a weekly show ‘n’ tell featuring weird items. The members will examine the item and try to figure out what the item is, and what it is used for.
