Hospice Shops

Welcome to Hospice Shops, nestled in the heart of Otago, a beacon of warmth, compassion, and community spirit that has been serving our city for several decades. We are more than just a charitable trust; we are a sanctuary for those seeking solace, a marketplace brimming with unique treasures, and a hub of volunteer opportunities that bind our community together. Our story began when local hearts rallied around the need to provide exceptional palliative care to our fellow residents facing life's most challenging moments. Over the years, we have grown from a small dream into a vibrant organization, where the essence of our mission continues to resonate: to make every moment count for those we serve. At Hospice Shops, we accept donations of goods with open arms, welcoming everything from timeless antiques to cherished children's toys. Each item, once loved and cared for, finds a new life in our stores, offering a second chance to bring joy to someone else's home. In doing so, we not only provide affordable, high-quality items to the community but also contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing waste. Stepping into one of our stores is like stepping into a treasure trove, filled with enchanting stories waiting to be discovered. From preloved furniture that tells tales of a family's growth, to vintage books that hold secrets yet to unfold, every item here whispers its history and invites you to become part of it. But the heart of Hospice Shops lies in our dedicated volunteers. Their boundless energy, unwavering commitment, and the friendship they offer are the lifeblood of our organization. Whether sorting donations, serving customers, or maintaining the stores, each volunteer plays an integral role in keeping our mission alive. If you're looking for a way to make a difference in your community, we invite you to join our family of volunteers. At Hospice Shops, we believe that every moment matters, and we strive to create moments filled with kindness, compassion, and connection. Whether you're seeking affordable treasures, wanting to donate items, or searching for a meaningful way to give back, we welcome you with open arms. Together, let us continue writing the story of Hospice Shops, one moment at a time.
