For over four decades, Hospice of the Foothills (Foothills Compassionate Care) a non-profit 501(c)(3) has been a beacon of compassionate care in Western Nevada County. Established in 1979 as a small, all-volunteer operation, we have grown into a highly respected, non-profit organization licensed by the State of California and certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Our j
ourney from these humble beginnings to the trusted and comprehensive care provider we are today is a testament to our unwavering dedication to serving our community. In 1991 we opened our first Gift and Thrift store in Nevada City followed by a second store located in Penn Valley in 1993, and a Grass Valley store in 2014. The purpose of the Gift and Thrift Stores is to provide financial support to the Mission of Hospice of the Foothills. 100% of the profit generated by the stores goes directly to support that mission. Relying totally on donations from people in the community, Foothills Gift and Thrift Stores have become known as the best in value and in the range of items in Nevada County. Foothills Gift and Thrift stores are a wonderful way to support Hospice of the Foothills. Bring your donations of new and gently used items and shop for some great buys! Hospice of the Foothills Gift and Thrift stores accept all items that are in good, clean condition and can be resold.
