In Transylvania County, along the Asheville Highway corridor leading into downtown Brevard and the gateway to Pisgah National Forest, the Four Seasons Hospice Home Store fills its sales floor with donated furniture, home decor, artwork, collectibles, linens, appliances, and clothing and accessories from labels such as Talbots, Calvin Klein, and Coach. The store is part of a three location network run by the Four Seasons Foundation, with sister locations in Hendersonville and Arden, and every purchase made at any of the three feeds the same cause: funding Four Seasons Serious Illness Care, a hospice and palliative care organization serving families across thirteen counties in western North Carolina.
The Brevard store is open to shoppers Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while those looking to donate can drop items off Tuesday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Because the operation leans heavily on volunteer labor, with more than 80 volunteers spread across the network’s stores, the schedule is deliberately built around what a largely donated workforce can sustain rather than standard big box retail hours. Larger furniture and appliance donations do not need to be hauled in personally, since the foundation offers free pickup service, and shoppers who buy bulky items can likewise arrange delivery rather than fitting a sofa into a sedan.
One detail that sets the Brevard store apart operationally is its approach to electronics: rather than simply accepting whatever comes through the donation door, staff test electronics for safety and function before they go on the sales floor, a quality control step that matters for shoppers wary of buying secondhand appliances or electronics sight unseen from a typical thrift shop. The store also periodically runs monthly warehouse sales, clearing out overflow inventory at deeper discounts and giving bargain hunters an added reason to check in regularly rather than treating the shop as a one time stop.
The Brevard location’s own framing matters too: the foundation describes the home store as more than a thrift shop, explicitly built to raise funds and provide well researched, value priced items while supporting compassionate, serious illness care in the region. That mission first approach shapes what shows up on the racks and shelves, since pricing and curation are aimed at sustaining hospice funding rather than maximizing turnover the way a purely commercial resale chain might. Being positioned near the entrance to Pisgah National Forest and downtown Brevard’s shopping district also means the store picks up visitors and part time residents passing through for outdoor recreation, not just year round locals doing their regular thrift shopping rounds.
For anyone in Transylvania County or visiting the Brevard area who wants furniture, decor, or clothing at fair prices while supporting local hospice care, this store offers a direct, tested, and volunteer powered way to do it. In short, the Four Seasons Hospice Home Store in Brevard is a mission driven resale shop on Asheville Highway that tests its donated electronics for safety and channels every sale toward Four Seasons Serious Illness Care across western North Carolina.
