LUCERNE, Calif. – Hospice Services of Lake County announces its inaugural Holiday Preview event that will take place on Thursday, Nov. 7.

The event will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at its Thrift Store located in Lucerne at 6270 E. Highway 20.

The Holiday Preview event will provide an exclusive sneak peek at the Thrift Store’s holiday collection, which has been gleaned from donations at all four Thrift Store locations over the past year.

There is no cost to attend the event. Customers may purchase a $10 ticket to receive a 25-percent discount on all holiday items purchased at the event.

Free refreshments will be served and live entertainment will be provided by My Divas, a local women’s a cappella singing group.

The proceeds from this event and from all of Hospice Services of Lake County’s Thrift Stores are used to fund programs for patients facing the end of their lives, the patients’ loved ones, and the community at large.

The agency provides grief support to members of the Lake County community through its Wings of Hope Family bereavement camps and school programs and through individual and group grief support.

Additionally the funds are used to provide support to patients with special needs such as an air conditioner during a heat wave or travel costs to say good bye to a loved one. These special funds also assist with providing hospice care for patients without insurance.

Anyone interesting in getting more information about the Holiday Preview event on Nov. 7, shopping at any one of the four Thrift Store locations, or donating items to sell at the Thrift Store (including the pick-up of large items) should call 707-263-6222.
