On-Air with Doug - Mary Casey - Hospital Thrift Shop Donation Days

Doug sits down with Mary Casey, Executive Director of the Hospital Thrift Shop on Nantucket, to discuss how this beloved island institution turns donated goods into meaningful support for Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Mary shares the mission of the thrift shop, details about the return of donation days starting in January, and what items the shop is most excited to receive. She explains how donations are processed, the vital role volunteers play, and why community participation through donating and shopping is key to the shop’s success. The conversation also highlights the shop’s incredible impact, including a record $660,000 donation as it wraps up its 96th year, benefiting the Gouin Village capital campaign for employee housing and a new physical therapy space.
