Some of SASF’s great dogs and cats, all of whom are in need of loving forever homes, will be at the library from noon–2 p.m. While you’re in town, check out the SASF ReTail Shop at 30 Jagger Lane (across from Stop and Shop) for used furniture, art, clothing, jewelry and other goods in excellent condition.

Since the Southampton Hospital Foundation Thrift Shop opened at 40 West Main Street (directly behind Herrick Hardware), its staff of hard-working and dedicated volunteers has raised nearly $5 million to support Southampton Hospital. Proceeds, earned from donations and sales, have been used for many important capital improvements, patient care telemetry, and anesthesia equipment. The Thrift Shop helped to fund the purchase of a state-of-the-art Sterotactic Biopsy Machine for the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center in 2001, and funded the purchase and installation of a new fire alarm system for the entire Hospital. All Thrift Shop proceeds are now benefiting the Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital. The Thrift Shop is open 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. Closed Wednesdays and some holidays. southampton.stonybrookmedicine.edu/support/thriftshop
