We are excited to introduce you to Lorraine...

How long have you been a volunteer at the gift shop?
I have been volunteering at the gift shop since October of 2025. I had originally volunteered about twenty years ago when my daughter did her community involvement hours in high school. I really enjoyed the experience and it's a very worthwhile cause because all the money supports the hospital.

What motivates you to volunteer?

I have always enjoyed volunteering and supporting causes that are important to me. Volunteering at the gift shop has allowed me to meet new people, have a purpose and be helpful. I have always worked in education and enjoy doing something different, such as gaining some retail experience.

What is something you would like others to know about you? (do you have hobbies, play sports, like to travel)

I support the Welland Jackfish which are now part of the Canadian Baseball League. I have billeted players at my home since June of 2023. The Jackfish are a great organization and supportive of the Welland community through their volunteer work and fundraising activities. The players that I have hosted have all been very positive role models and most of the players that I have met have received sports scholarships to pursue their postsecondary studies. Going to a Jackfish game is very entertaining and a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy.

$4 MILLION RAISED!

Yes, you read that correctly. For over 80 years, the dedicated volunteers of the Welland Hospital Auxiliary have raised more than $4 million in support of local health care.

Serving our community hospital is truly an honor. Knowing we are making a difference is what keeps us coming back, year after year.

Over the decades, your support has helped us fund essential equipment and hospital improvements — from everyday items like stethoscopes, linens, and wheelchairs… to advanced technology like cardiac monitors, operating microscopes, arthroscopes, Lifeline units, gynecology lasers. cystoscopy and colonoscopy equipment, medication carts and EKG monitors.

And we’re not done yet!

Because of YOU — your support of our gift shop and raffles — we can continue this important work alongside Niagara Health Foundation and Niagara Health.

Your support shows us that you believe in what we do, and that means everything.

Thank you for being there for us, so we can continue to be there for you.

Hi Everyone, I'm happy to introduce you to our volunteer, Julie.

I have been volunteering at the Welland Hospital Gift Shop since June of 2022. I have a weekly shift of just 3 hours per week, so it's easy to fit into my weekly routine.

I caught the bug for volunteering when I was a school child. Whether I was helping the librarian shelve books, standing on a busy corner as a safety patrol to help children younger than me cross the street safely or selling chocolate bars to raise money for a special cause, I soon learned that it feels good to help others and contribute to my community. I have always found a way to volunteer once in a while, even when I was a busy working mom. When I retired from my teaching career I was glad for the opportunity to join the Hospital Auxiliary so that I could support our local health system in a small way.

I remember wondering how I'd fill my days once I left my very busy life as an elementary school teacher. Now I laugh at that because I've learned that it's easy to be as busy as you want to be! My husband and I have 14 grandchildren who we love to visit, babysit and spoil! We both have small, part time jobs and we both volunteer through 2 or 3 different organizations. At this stage of life, my volunteerism looks like helping people find what they're looking for in the gift shop, waiting on tables at catering/fundraiser events, stocking shelves at a food pantry for people who experience food insecurity, and even providing a bit of free tutoring from time to time!

Any geriatric specialist will tell you that staying busy and using your brain in different ways is good for you as you age, so that's what we do, and we love it!

It's Volunteer Week so the Welland Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop members had a lovely lunch celebrating each other and our accomplishments.

Together we donated $108,700 to Niagara Health Foundation for much needed equipment at Niagara Health.

A special thank you to Andrea DiCenso and Shannon Shamess, Development Officers, along with Annette Bennitz, Director of Development at Niagara Health Foundation, and Christine Hurtubise from Volunteer Services, for joining us on our special day. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Phil Valvasori, Manager of Patient Experience and Volunteer Resources at Niagara Health, for taking time out of his busy schedule to personally thank our volunteers.

To all our customers, thank you for supporting us so we can help you in your time of need.

Hi Everyone, I'm Kathy and here is a little bit about me.

I started volunteering in the Gift Shop September 2024. I am flexible with my schedule and able to help when they need extra shifts covered. I also purchase the sundries that so many of the staff love!

It seems I have been volunteering most of my adult life. I was very involved in Girl Guides as well as Jaycees and Jaycettes. I was able to do this while still working and raising my family. When I retired, I got involved with St Michael’s Ukrainian Church where I help make fresh perogies every Friday and once a month we make cabbage rolls.

Two months after I retired, covid hit. After being housebound, I started to bake more, trying out my grandma’s recipes - Hungarian- of course. I believe I’m very good at making walnut tortes, kieflis, cream puffs and different cookies that she made. Not perfect but no one complains. I’ve even sold some of my baked goods and I make an awesome Christmas cake thanks to my mom’s recipe.

And I am a huge Elvis fan - no better singer in my opinion!

Come on into the gift shop, I look forward to meeting you!
