People who love bargain-shopping for furniture, home goods and décor will soon have a new destination—the Agrace Thrift Home Store.
A Grand Opening celebration is planned for Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1946 S. Stoughton Road, Madison. Proceeds from this store are directed specifically to help fund Agrace’s grief support programming for the community, including the Agrace Grief Support Center in Fitchburg.
“Agrace offers support to all grieving people in the community, including those whose loved ones were not Agrace HospiceCare patients,” said retail business manager Judy Purcell. “Last year, Agrace supported 588 adults and children through individual grief support sessions, family grief support groups and visits to local schools. The cost for offering these services comes solely from community donations like proceeds from our new Thrift Home Store.”
Agrace operates three other thrift store locations—two in in Madison and one in Janesville—that resell quality donated clothing, accessories, books, furniture and housewares. The Home Store will focus on furniture and home décor, including framed art, lamps and rugs.
Like Agrace’s existing stores, this new home store will be run almost exclusively with the time and talent of volunteers. Additional volunteers are needed to help with staging and displays on the sales floor, customer service and cashiering.
People interested in volunteering can stop in to learn more by visiting the store during the grand opening October 19, from 10 a.m. to noon, or any other day during regular store hours. Prospective volunteers can also learn more by calling Agrace at (608) 327-7163 or visiting Agrace.org/volunteer.
Proceeds from the Agrace Thrift Stores are used to help Agrace serve local patients and families coping with serious illness. Agrace is a nonprofit palliative care and hospice agency that has provided end-of-life care and related services to people in southern Wisconsin communities for more than 40 years.
