Blue Ridge Hospice and Middleburg Bank are joining forces to sponsor a Donation Day in Middleburg on Saturday, June 6th, from 9 a.m. to noon. Donors should look for the large Blue Ridge Hospice thrift shop truck that will be parked in the Middleburg Bank parking lot to receive donations of gently used clothing, household items, books and furniture.

Donations will be used to stock the shelves at Blue Ridge Hospice's area thrift shops. Appointments may also be made that day for the pickup of large quantities of items or furniture. Proceeds from the Hospice thrift shop operations go toward the not-for-profit organization's services and to support the care provided individuals who don't have insurance or the financial means to pay for their care.

Blue Ridge Hospice cannot accept the donation of large appliances, tvs, exercise equipment, computer-related equipment, or mattresses.

Blue Ridge Hospice is celebrating its 34th anniversary of service to the counties of Loudoun, Fauquier, Clarke, Shenandoah, Page, Rappahannock, Warren, and the City of Winchester. Last year, Blue Ridge Hospice cared for 1,176 patients and assisted more than 2,000 family members through its grief and loss services. $313,000 was provided in charity care to the communities it serves.
