Registered Charity
The Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary is now a registered charity and can issue tax receipts for any donations. Contact us to make a donation or donate through CanadaHelps.
Every year our Auxiliary presents bursaries to students from Sardis Senior Secondary, Chilliwack Senior Secondary and GW Graham Senior Secondary entering a medical field. This year was special for one of our members Bonnie whose granddaughter was one of the recipients. This was a surprise for both of them because the school picks the student receiving the award.
We held another successful bake sale and plant draw on our May 9, 2025 Auxiliary Day. The baking sold out early! Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts.
On February 12, 2025 the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary held a Valentine’s sale event at the Chilliwack General Hospital. Urban Jungle was our sponsor and everything sold was donated to the auxiliary.
The Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shoppe has been in business since March 16, 1999. We have been serving the community of Chilliwack with new and used clothing and household items and raising funds for our local Hospital with equipment and services for the care and comfort of the patients.
The Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shoppe opened March 16, 1999 with windows decorated for Saint Patrick’s Day and was already a success by the end of the month.

The Shoppe started in the same location at 9236 Main Street downtown Chilliwack using one side of the building and then expanded to what we see today.
We have had some very loyal customers come through our doors, visitors from surrounding areas and across our Province. We have received wonderful donations from the community to keep us in business and we are very thankful to everyone who has supported our dear Thrift Shoppe. We have made a lot of friendships along the way and lots of memories to hold dear in our hearts.
The members of the auxiliary have worked hard using their time and talents to keep the Shoppe in business without ever taking any wages. All volunteers over the years who have made a difference, we are eternally grateful for your dedication and commitment.
It is with heavy hearts that we are announcing that the Thrift Shoppe will be holding our 26th Anniversary event on March 8, 2025 and then we will be closing up with sales until end of March and close our doors at the end of April, unable to sustain the increases in rent and expenses.
Our membership thanks each and everyone who supported the shoppe over the years and bid you all a fond farewell. The Auxiliary will continue to fundraise and support healthcare as it has done for 114 years and counting. We are always looking for new members.
