Prince Frederick, MD – Calvert Hospice and the Shoppe for Hospice are pleased to announce that our One-Year Anniversary Celebration at the Shoppe for Hospice, located at 92 Central Square Drive behind Outback Steakhouse, was a great success.
The event was planned to showcase the recent changes made to the Shoppe layout and merchandise and to thank the community who has helped make the Shoppe a success in its new space. The celebration took place on May 9 at 3 pm and was attended by community members, customers, local business owners, the Board of County Commissioners and Calvert Hospice staff, volunteers, and board members. Jean Fleming, Executive Director of Calvert Hospice, was presented with an award by the Chamber of Commerce commemorating the event, and she expressed thanks to the community and local businesses for the support the Shoppe has received so far.
There was a ribbon cutting performed by members of the Chamber of Commerce, County Commissioners, Calvert Hospice Board members, and the Executive Director. Customers continued to shop throughout the event, finding excellent bargains on name-brand items. Food and drinks were generously donated by Dream Weaver Events & Catering.
The Shoppe for Hospice exists to provide the Burnett Calvert Hospice House with additional funds to support operations and patient care. It is an upscale recycle boutique that features women’s and men’s clothing, accessories, shoes, and some select furniture.
We are currently looking for interested volunteers to staff the Shoppe. If you are interested in volunteering at the Shoppe, please contact Amanda Peterson, Volunteer Coordinator, at 410-535-0892 or apeterson@calverthospice.org.
