The dedicated team of experts in end-of-life care includes doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, chaplains and volunteers. Thanks to generous community support, grief support is available to family members, friends and the entire community at no cost through the Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Center.
The Heirlooms Resale Shoppes in Kettering and Centerville raise funds to support patient care and services.
“Because we are a not-for-profit hospice, we provide end-of-life care to anyone in the community, regardless of their ability to pay or complexity of care,” says Lori Poelking-Igel, president of the Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton Foundation. “Each and every donation supports care for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families in our community.”
The inventory at Heirlooms is made up entirely of donated items from the community.
Here’s what the Heirloom Shoppes can accept
• Gently-used home decoration accessories
• Bed frames
• Chairs
• Collectibles
• Desks
• Dining tables
• Dressers
• Glassware
• Jewelry
• Lamps
• Mirrors
• Sofas
• Wall hangings
The Heirlooms Shoppes are located in Kettering at 1413 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420, (937) 294-9200 and 461 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, Centerville, OH 45459, (937) 435-1588.) Both Heirlooms Shoppes are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ll need to schedule a time to drop off your items. Heirlooms is also offering free pick-up of gently-used furniture. Items must be placed outside or in a garage. Heirlooms Shoppes drivers are not permitted to enter any homes at this time.
