We had fun celebrating Auxiliary Day by holding a plant draw just in time for Mother’s Day. The government of British Columbia has proclaimed Auxiliary Day to recognize the dedicated Auxiliary members who volunteer thousands of hours and raise millions of dollars each year for their health care facilities and their communities.
For decades, a group of volunteers has supported the Chilliwack General Hospital by raising money to buy medical equipment.
But back in 1911, when the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary first started up, they were raising funds to buy something else – the hospital itself. Chilliwack’s first hospital officially opened, debt-free, on Feb. 28, 1912 thanks to the auxiliary and other people and organizations that helped raise money.
As National Volunteer Week approaches (April 24 to 30) auxiliary members are putting the call out for others to join them so they can continue to support the hospital.
The Thrift Shoppe twenty-third anniversary sale is March 29, 2022 from 11 AM to 3PM.
There will be a store wide sale. Cookies will be given away.
We hope to see you there.
Our Auxiliary needs volunteers. If you have any extra time to spare please help us out by picking up an application form at the Shoppe or at the Hospital Information desk.
The knitting case is back at the Chilliwack Hospital and is once again selling the beautifully crafted articles donated by the many talented knitters of Chilliwack.
Hours: Tues, Wed, Thurs 10 am to 2 pm
If you have busy been knitting and have a backlog of items in your home that you’re willing to donate, we gratefully accept baby outfits. Contact us.
We hope to see you at the hospital by the information desk and thank you for your patronage.
Christmas is fast approaching and our Auxiliary invites you to shop early. The Shoppe window decorations are not for sale but we do have a good selection.

On May 1, 1911, the Hospital Board asked the women of the Fraser Valley to form a Hospital Auxiliary. There were thirty-eight women present and four members of the board. The women had been fundraising since 1908 to build a hospital.
“The objects of the Auxiliary are to assist the Board of directors in maintaining the Hospital, and to forward its interests in any way considered desirable by the Auxiliary.”
The Constitution and By-Laws of the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary
All women were welcome to become members of the Auxiliary, just as they are today.
