Hospice of Yuma gives to HSOY in their time of need

The Hospice of Yuma's thrift store was severely damaged by a roof collapse caused by torrential rainfall last week and had to be closed indefinitely. Although they are already making plans to relocate, the damage to and resulting closure of a popular thrift store is no doubt a tremendous strain to both revenue and volunteer resources for the local non-profit.

Despite this time of need, the Hospice of Yuma donated a number of glass display cases to the Humane Society of Yuma for our own thrift store which is to open soon on the corner of 4th Avenue and 24th ST. One of these display cases has already been placed in our shelter's main office to display a variety of merchandise.

Not only did they generously donate these cases but Hospice volunteers aided HSOY personnel in the delivery of these very heavy yet quite-fragile cases.

We look forward for an opportunity to return the favor.
