The Corner Store is a favorite meeting
place for residents. |
|
A fixture from the beginning, this convenience store is
operated by resident volunteers. No need to go to a shopping center. The Corner Store stocks regular grocery
and housekeeping items as well as soft drinks, gift items, greeting
cards and even postage stamps.
Hot coffee, tea, cappuccino, pastries, deli
sandwiches and fresh popcorn make the store a popular gathering place for
residents.
Residents and staff often buy their lunches and snacks at the
store.
A Special Order Service lets residents request items that can be
delivered the next day.

contains over 12,000 hard back and large print books, many
paperbacks, video tapes and DVD's for the residents’ use. The

including the Wall Street Journal. |

Audio tapes and magnifiers for reading are available for the
sight-impaired and a wide variety of encyclopedias, atlases and
dictionaries can be found in the reference section of the library.
A special section of the library is devoted to
displays which depict current and historical events. The
library is run by volunteers who catalogue all books and see that they
are properly shelved. |

 This lovely shop had a very humble beginning, with a group of women who
wanted a place to do various crafts. It started out small, but as interest grew, more tables and
shelves were added. Craft and gift items soon filled these tables and shelves.
Everything has been donated by Foxwood Springs residents.
Resident volunteers work in
the craft room or in their homes to produce the items sold. A variety of infant
items such as baby sweaters, booties and blankets are
available for sale. You’ll also find many useful things like knitted caps,
mittens, scarves and lap robes, as well as all kinds of craft items. We create beautiful flower arrangements
which have become one of our “best
sellers.”
Floral
arrangements can be made to your specifications.
The Gift and Craft room is
a successful part of the Foxwood Springs community. It is a place
to come to shop, to learn or to buy. There are tables to work on,
sewing machines to use, craft supplies to purchase and volunteers to
assist you.

The proceeds from the shop go to help provide
support for the Fellowship of John program that makes available
financial assistance for residents who have outlived their resources and
need help in covering the full cost of their care.
