Today marks the grand opening of the Sutter Amador Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop. The Thrift Shop is celebrating the move to its new location in the Cost Less Shopping Center behind the Waffle Shop and next to Cost Less. “We have everything from soup to nuts,” said Terri Holm, one of the store’s volunteer clerks. “People have donated quite a few unusual items.” All the proceeds from the thrift store benefit the Sutter Amador Hospital. Funds are allocated based on the various needs of the hospital. When we spoke to store manager Barbara Fogg the day before the grand opening, she explained that the store is still being filled and employees will happily accept any nice, clean, usable donations. Holm was also quick to point out that store volunteers make a special effort to put aside supplies for infants in order to have those supplies readily available if there is an emergency. The Grand opening of the Auxilary Thrift Store will take place today, May 21st, between 11am and 4 pm. For more information you can contact the store at the number on your screen.
