• “Hospice of Ukiah is seeking volunteers to help in our Thrift & Gift Store at 401S. State Street. We have a large store, which takes a large crew to keep it well stocked with all the interesting items that are donated daily.
Currently, we are closed on Mondays and we are hoping to reopen six days a week. The ‘Thrift’ is our major source of revenue, providing the money needed to continue our mission of mercy — helping people to live with comfort and die with dignity. If you can spare a few hours a week, please call Marlena at 462-3141to see how you can help. Thank you.”
