Hospice of Marion County Thrift Store in Summerfield

Thrift Shopping That Funds Hospice Care

The Hospice of Marion County Thrift Store in Summerfield, Florida, is a charity resale shop whose sales help fund the patient programs of Hospice of Marion County, the nonprofit hospice provider for Marion County. The organization says that shopping at, donating to or volunteering with its thrift stores helps ensure its end-of-life services are available to anyone in the community who needs them, no matter their ability to pay. The thrift stores are one of its community fundraising channels, turning donated goods into revenue for patient care.

The Summerfield store sits in the southern part of Marion County, between Belleview and The Villages, and it is the closest of the four Hospice of Marion County stores to The Villages and to the Lake Weir communities. It is also the only one of the four outside the Ocala city limits, which makes it the nearest Hospice thrift store for Summerfield, Belleview, Weirsdale and Lady Lake shoppers and donors.

According to Hospice of Marion County, the inventory is donated by the local community and rotates frequently. Merchandise includes clothing, shoes and accessories, housewares, home decor and furniture. Because stock depends entirely on what comes in the door, the selection changes from one visit to the next, and regulars tend to stop in often rather than hunting for a specific item on a single trip.

Hospice of Marion County is the nonprofit hospice provider for Marion County, and its thrift stores are a visible part of how the community supports that work. For shoppers, the practical appeal is simple: all four stores keep the same weekday and Saturday hours, the Summerfield and Six Gun Plaza locations are open on Sunday, and the organization describes the stores as offering quality merchandise at great prices.

For thrift shoppers exploring the broader Marion County area, additional options include the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches Thrift Store on SW Highway 200, the Humane Society Thrift Store on NW 10th Street, Brother's Keeper, Plaza Thrift, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and the consignment stores around Ocala. The full list, with Sunday hours, is on the thrift stores in Ocala guide, and the Summerfield store is one of the shopping stops covered for residents and visitors in the Summerfield area.
