Hernando-Pasco Hospice Thrift Store in New Port Richey, Florida
I recently wrote about one of my neighbors who has lived next door to me for the last 10 years. I usually donate to Suncoast Hospice in Tarpon Springs, Florida since it's near my office in Tarpon Springs.
However since Hernando-Pasco Hospice helped my neighbor I decided to make a donation in memory of him because he was a very good man. (Hernando-Pasco Hospice is now called HPH Hospice.)
Today my husband and I decided to drop off donations at their location in New Port Richey, Florida in honor of him. This thrift store is located at 6528 Massachusettes Avenue. Their phone number is (727) 841-7356. Their hours are as follows:
I took some pictures of the interior after I dropped off some donations and while I was shopping there:
Shopping at or donating items to their thrift stores helps their patient and family programs.
You can drop off small donations at the stores weekdays during business hours and a tax deductible receipt will be provided. If you have difficulty transporting your items or live in another county, you can still donate to a HPH Hospice Thrift Store & More. Just call them to arrange a donation pick up at no charge. Their phone number is (727) 841-7356.

Because every home matters.
Aloha kakou (Hello everyone):
Born and raised in Hawaii, I love living in sunny Tampa Bay Florida. Tampa Bay offers:1) Warm weather; 2) Numerous fantastic beaches and parks:
3) the Pinellas Trail;
4) Great communities (both local and statewide;) 5) A high affordability factor; 6) Year-round vegetable gardening; 7) Fantastic thrift stores; 8) Some REALLY nice, awesome people; and 9) Many activities, amenities, and restaurants.
I LOVE it in Florida and enjoy helping others in the Tampa Bay area in the home buying and home selling process.
As a property owner in Florida, in Hawaii, and in Washington (Kirkland to be exact) I know what buyers and sellers experience because I have experienced it and wish to help others through the home buying and selling process.
Let my experience and education coupled with my high level of energy, dedication, knowledge, and persistence work for you.
Partly because I grew up as a socio-economically disadvantaged child, at each of my closings I am passionate about helping some less fortunate people in some way. A few organizations that I donate a portion of every transaction to are as follows:

- The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast a.k.a. Suncoast Hospice, a non-profit organization in Florida which provides a broad spectrum of services to anyone affected by end of life as well as community-at-large though their family of programs which include people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and much more
- 'Aha Punana Leo Hawaiian language immersion schools in Hawai'i, a non-profit organization in Hawai'i dedicated to serving the Hawaiian language community
- Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)
- and to the Salvation Army
One of my dogs, Bambam, who I adopted from the SPCA says "Hello!"
