Hospital Thrift Shops to Merge in Brewster Location

The Putnam Hospital Center Auxiliary’s Eagle Eye Too Thrift Shop in Mahopac will close Dec. 18.

After 21 years at the Mahopac location, the auxiliary decided to consolidate with its Eagle Eye Thrift Shop in Brewster.

“Eagle Eye Too has been a mainstay in the Mahopac community serving not only the hospital, but our friends, family and neighbors,” said Michelle Piazza, director of volunteer and pastoral care services at Putnam Hospital Center. “We are so thankful to the auxiliary for their hard work and dedication in making the thrift shop a huge success over the last two decades.”

The Mahopac location has raised more than $1.5 million for the hospital since it opened in 1994.

The two thrift shops, in addition to the hospital gift shop, are run entirely by the auxiliary and its volunteers. Formed in 1963, the auxiliary since its inception has made more than $7 million in pledge payments to the hospital.

Proceeds from the stores, as well as other fundraising activities throughout the year, are directed to programs and services at Putnam Hospital Center.

Tax-deductible donations are still welcome at the Eagle Eye Thrift Shop, 65 Main St., Brewster. Hours of operation are from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
