Cottage Shop
The Cottage Shop – Your Neighborhood Resale Shop
Owned and operated by the Auxiliary to Driscoll Children’s Hospital.
The Cottage Shop first opened its doors in 1996. It began with 10 volunteers in a portable building behind the Rehabilitation building. Today, the Cottage Shop is in a 1,800 square-foot building purchased by the Auxiliary and donated to the hospital. With more than 20 volunteers, the shop is very popular with both the hospital staff and the community. Not only has the Cottage Shop raised more than $1,000,000 for the Auxiliary, it has also partnered with Driscoll’s Social Work Department to provide thousands of items at no cost to patients and families in need at Driscoll Children’s Hospital.
The Cottage Shop is located on the grounds of Driscoll Children’s Hospital behind the Pavilion.
