Join the Welland Hospital Auxiliary
Since 1945, the Welland Hospital Auxiliary has been a vital part of the community, supporting the Welland Hospital’s needs, particularly in providing essential equipment. Through the dedication of volunteers, they’ve raised more than $3.9 million over the years to help ensure the hospital can continue offering excellent care.
The Auxiliary’s mission is to assist the hospital by funding necessary equipment, which is made possible by the hard work of their volunteers. Like many organizations, they struggled to cope with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, they were still able to meet their fundraising goal and are now eager to give back even more. Their latest gift of $70,000 towards the purchase of pharmaceutical carts is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
Whether helping in the gift shop or running bingo events, these volunteers make a lasting impact. The Welland Hospital Gift Shop, cherished by many for its diverse selection of items, attracts customers from across the region, and its welcoming atmosphere offers a comforting escape, providing visitors with a positive distraction during stressful hospital visits.
While the gift shop is currently open during the day, the Auxiliary’s goal is to extend hours to evenings, but they need more volunteers to make this happen. Volunteers find purpose, accomplishment and community within this team, and many are motivated by their own positive experiences with the hospital.
“Friendship develops because everyone is here to do a good thing and ensure our healthcare system is taken care of,” said one volunteer. No matter what stage in life you are in – whether you’re a high school student, a retiree or someone juggling work – volunteering with the Auxiliary is a rewarding way to give back. The dedication and generosity of volunteers are the driving forces behind the Auxiliary’s success, leaving a lasting impact on both the hospital and the community.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to contribute, consider joining this fantastic team and supporting the Welland Hospital Auxiliary’s mission.
