An affiliate of Compass Regional Hospice, Estate Treasures has been raising money for hospice care and grief support provided in Queen Anne’s County for more than 25 years. The proceeds from the sale will benefit Compass Regional Hospice, which offers individuals, families and the community “Care on your terms” through comprehensive, professional and compassionate end-of-life care and grief support.
Compass Regional Hospice takes care of infants and children, as well as adults in need of its programs, which in addition to hospice care include grief counseling and support groups, and patients are never turned away based on an inability to pay for services. Because of this, there is a $1.4 million funding gap between what the organization receives in service payments and the actual cost of care provided.
The warehouse sale will feature furniture, sports equipment, kitchen appliances, tools, area rugs, light fixtures and lamps, children’s clothing and toys, and lawn and garden items. Estate Treasures is accepting these items for donation, in good, working condition. Contact the store for details about dropping off donations.
Items not acceptable for donation are treadmills and stationary bikes, TVs, medical equipment, large appliances, mattresses, used building materials, computers and computer equipment, tires, used automotive or boat parts, and books.
