ROME — The Rome Twigs Gift Shop at Rome Memorial Hospital has relocated to the hospital’s main lobby area, the hospital announced.

Operated by the hospital’s Twigs volunteer organization, the gift shop will offer coffee, tea, soft drinks, and snacks, as well as a variety of gift items, many of which are made in New York state.

The shop is open to the public and the hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“Proceeds from gift shop sales help the Twigs, a not-for-profit organization, continue its long tradition of dedicated service in support of the hospital and its mission,” the hospital said. All of the gift shop’s profits go toward the purchase of hospital equipment and to support programs of the hospital.

The Rome Twigs started in 1907 when Millicent Hazelton introduced the idea of a “sewing circle” to make items to raise money for the hospital, according to the Rome Memorial Hospital website. The group also sewed hospital supplies.
