Tidewell Foundation Accepting Donations for Tidewell Treasures Thrift Shop in Sarasota

All proceeds from items sold at the thrift shop benefit the Tidewell Foundation in its support of Tidewell Hospice

Tidewell Treasures, a resale thrift shop benefiting the Tidewell Foundation in its support of Tidewell Hospice, is seeking donations from the community ahead of the opening of its new Sarasota location. Proceeds from all items sold at Tidewell Treasures go to the Tidewell Foundation, which helps Tidewell Hospice provide charity care and world-class services for more than 10,000 patients, as well as free grief services for more than 8,000 clients throughout Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Members of the community can drop off gently used brand-name furniture and clothing, electronics, collectibles, books, music, jewelry, linens, lamps, artwork, and other home goods and accessories to help stock the new Tidewell Treasures location at 5441 Palmer Crossing Circle on Clark Road in Sarasota. Treasures will accept donations between ​​9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. on Saturdays until the store opens, which is scheduled for mid-September. Once opened, people will be able to drop off donations during normal operating hours.

“Since we opened our first Tidewell Treasures location in Venice, we’ve been eager to establish more locations for people to enjoy while supporting our mission,” said Tidewell Foundation President Debbie Mason. “Our community has the opportunity to help fill our new Sarasota location with high-quality goods that will benefit the patients and families served by Tidewell Hospice.”

The new Tidewell Treasures location in Sarasota will feature 11,000 square feet to accommodate home decor, household goods, name-brand furniture and clothing, accessories, and more. Sales of these items support grants from the Tidewell Foundation to Tidewell Hospice to sustain and expand programs to provide charity hospice care, free grief support services, specialized veterans care, and additional services such as music therapy and telehealth.
