The South Wind Hospice Thrift Shop opened on June 9, 2004 thanks to the efforts of Paula Vandenberg White, Thrift Shop Manager, and many volunteers. The South Wind Hospice Thrift Shop is now a thriving business on Main Street in Pratt with many people shopping, buying and donating.

The goal of the South Wind Hospice Thrift Shop is to generate revenue to support the programs of South Wind Hospice. The revenue from this shop helps to ensure that hospice services are available to all those in need regardless of their ability to pay. It also helps to cover those services that insurance doesn’t cover such as bereavement care.

South Wind Hospice provides compassionate and quality end-of-life care to those nearing the end-of-life, their families and their loved ones. Skilled health care professionals provide pain and symptom control as well as social, emotional and spiritual care to patients in the comfort of their own home.
