Those who can, do, and those who can do more, volunteer
Volunteer Services primarily include:
In the mid-1970’s a group of volunteers gathered together to start and operate a gift shop located within the hospital. They made layettes, saved Betty Crocker stamps to purchase silverware for new babies, sold cookies and popcorn and helped patients with phone calls, newspapers and letters.
By 1978 the group reorganized and eventually opened a thrift shop, The Bargain Boutique, on Main Street in Quincy. Proceeds were, and still are, used to help the hospital purchase equipment. The group is proud to recount their first major donation in the mid-1980’s, new lobby furniture valued at over $2000. Today, The Bargain Boutique is the main source of income for the volunteers. Over $800,000 has been donated to PDH for equipment and student scholarships.
