Hospice WR accepting items for fundraiser sale

Hospice of the Western Reserve will host its next Warehouse Sale in September and is seeking items.

Hospice of the Western Reserve announced it will host its next Warehouse Sale 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sept. 11, and noon to 4 p.m., Sept. 12 at its headquarters, 17876 St. Clair Ave. in Cleveland.

In addition to furniture, framed artwork and lamps, the selection often includes sets of fine china, glassware, antiques, jewelry, collectibles and one-of-a-kind treasures.

The proceeds not only support seriously ill patients and their families, but veterans in need of specialized care, grief and trauma counseling in schools and other community-based programs provided by the nonprofit agency throughout northern Ohio, according to a news release.

Cash and major credit cards are accepted for payment but not checks. Ample parking is available in the Hospice of the Western Reserve parking lot.

Donations of furniture and household goods are still actively being sought.

Furniture items will be previewed by volunteers or by submitted photos prior to acceptance for donation. Tax receipts will be provided, the release stated.

Arrangements can be made to pick up large furniture free of charge from some locations in northern Ohio. The agency noted it appreciates donations to help defray the cost of movers.

Those interested in contributing items for the sale should contact the Warehouse Sale Team at 216-255-9090.

The agency does not accept bedding, books, clothing, car seats, electronics, major appliances, medical supplies, sporting goods, children’s toys and games, computers, mattresses, televisions and stuffed animals.

Hospice of the Western Reserve warehouse sales are held four times throughout the year.
