We provide a comforting touch to the residents in skilled nursing
including weekly bingo, reading, visiting and to be there as a support. We
have several parties and the favorite is the Valentines party where we bring
treats and candies for the residents and staff and a king and queen are crowned. We also bake
and
cook, make crafts, and do sales at bazaars for Christmas.
We have several fund raisers during the year including soup and salad
bars at the hospital for anyone who would like to attend. We also assist in the
community blood drive.
The hospital staff lets us know what they need and we assist in
purchasing them such as a new vacuum for housekeeping and a new washing
machine. We just helped Telemedicine get two badly needed chairs and a doctor’s
stool. We assisted the hospital in the remodel of the hospital ER waiting area
as well.
Who Do We Need?
We recruit from
the community and always are looking for multi-talented people. Special talents and
personal schedules are matched to the
hospital's needs.
Volunteers are male, female, retired, employed, or students. These
uncommon people have one common purpose - they are dedicated to helping others.
Interested persons can fill out an application which is available in the
Gift Shop or fill out the online application below.
The Gift Shop purpose is to provide affordable gifts for family and
friends of patients. We will be adding a book cart so that the patients can
have books that are free to read. We take in donations to sell and items on
consignment that fit the purpose of the gift shop.
We also operate a second gift shop at the Merchant’s Mall in
Weaverville where the items for sale are geared towards the general public. We
sell See’s Candy there all year as well as the hospital gift shop, however we only have chocolates at the gift shop when weather permits, (it gets too hot to sell there in the summer).
If you have
time to spare and enjoy helping others, then volunteering is for you. Talk to a member of the Auxiliary, pick up an application, or contact
us by mail at:
Trinity Hospital Auxiliary P.O. Box 773
Weaverville, CA 96093
Meetings are every 2nd Monday.
We hope you will consider joining the Trinity Hospital Auxiliary.
