Additionally, Snowline operates several thrift stores throughout El Dorado County.

Wiedemann noted that they partner with the VA and other organizations to assist veterans. Volunteers often spend time with veterans, listening to their stories and offering companionship. Snowline Hospice Thrift Stores provide discounts for veterans, and if a veteran is in need of a specific item, the store will offer it free of charge. The organization also hosts an annual Stand Down event, where they distribute coats to veterans-last year, they gave away over 200 coats to those in need. Each November, Snowline holds a fundraising event for veterans, with proceeds benefiting the El Dorado County Veterans Alliance. The organization also receives an annual grant from the VA TOT to help support its veteran outreach. On average, Snowline Hospice is able to assist approximately 54 veterans in El Dorado County each year.
