Community invited to the grand opening of Suncoast Hospice Resale Shoppe of Countryside on 9/12/15
Clearwater, Fla. (Sept. 4, 2015) – One of the best ways to benefit your own budget, save the environment, and satisfy your shopping craving for unique goods is to shop second-hand. Thrift store shopping has skyrocketed in popularity within the last decade, becoming one of the trendiest immersions of the retail industry. Fortunately for Countryside residents, thrifty shopping can also mean helping community members in need.
Empath Health, which includes Suncoast Hospice as one of their member organizations caring for the community, is proud to announce the grand opening of their newly located Suncoast Hospice Resale Shoppe of Countryside. The store is an addition to two established locations in Clearwater and St. Petersburg.
The Fall-themed festivities will take place on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering a 25 percent discount off entire purchases, giveaways and free refreshments. The shop will hold repurposing classes and demonstrations throughout the day, such as floral arranging and Fall welcome sign creation projects: 26252 US HWY 19 North Clearwater, Fla. 33761.
Special sales will include $99 pre-owned laptops, office furniture, and unique antiques and merchandise that were put aside specifically for this event.
The Suncoast Hospice Resale Shoppes are staffed almost entirely by volunteers and support the programs and services provided to patients and families by Empath Health and its integrated network of care.
“The Suncoast Hospice Resale Shoppes significantly support Empath Health’s goal of helping each person in our community to maintain the best quality of life and live each day with meaning and purpose,” explains Rafael Sciullo, CEO of Empath Health. “We are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of our Countryside location, and continue helping those in need.”
