Over seven decades of dedicated volunteer service to our community
To support and enhance the welfare of the 100 Mile District General Hospital through volunteer service, fundraising initiatives, and community engagement, ensuring our local healthcare facility has the equipment and resources needed to provide exceptional patient care.
The 100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary was established in the 1950s by a group of dedicated community members who recognized the importance of supporting local healthcare. What began as a small group of volunteers has grown into a vital organization that has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical equipment and services over the decades.
Throughout our history, we have remained committed to our founding principle: 100% volunteer-operated, with 100% of proceeds going directly to support healthcare.
From our humble beginnings, we have evolved our services to meet changing community needs while maintaining the warm, personal touch that has always defined our organization. Today, we proudly serve as members of the BC Healthcare Auxiliaries provincial association, connecting with other auxiliaries across British Columbia who share our mission.
We serve with empathy and kindness, understanding that every patient and family is facing unique challenges. Our volunteers bring warmth and care to every interaction.
We are neighbors helping neighbors. Our auxiliary strengthens community bonds by bringing people together for a common purpose: better healthcare for all.
Our volunteers commit their time, energy, and talents year-round, driven by a genuine desire to make a positive difference in our community's health and wellbeing.
We strive for the highest standards in everything we do, from operating our gift shop to organizing fundraising events and managing our financial contributions.
We operate with complete transparency and accountability, ensuring every dollar raised is used responsibly to benefit patient care and medical equipment needs.
While honoring our traditions, we continually seek new ways to serve our community, adapt to changing healthcare needs, and engage volunteers of all generations.
Every service we provide, from staffing the gift shop to organizing fundraising events, is carried out by dedicated volunteers from our community. We have no paid staff—just passionate individuals who believe in supporting local healthcare.
This means that 100% of every dollar we raise goes directly to its intended purpose: purchasing medical equipment, supporting healthcare programs, and providing bursaries to future healthcare professionals.
We are proud members of BC Healthcare Auxiliaries, a provincial association that connects hospital auxiliaries throughout British Columbia. This network allows us to share best practices, learn from other communities, and strengthen our collective impact on healthcare across the province.
Together with our fellow auxiliaries, we represent thousands of volunteers working toward a common goal: better healthcare for all British Columbians.
We participate in local events like the Santa Claus Parade and Seniors Resource Fair, maintaining a visible and active presence in 100 Mile House.
We regularly submit articles to local newspapers to keep our community informed about our activities, achievements, and upcoming fundraising events.
We gratefully receive donations from organizations like the 100 Mile House Lions and Legion, strengthening community collaboration for healthcare.
Our history is written by volunteers like you. Whether you can commit to regular shifts or help with special events, there's a place for you in our auxiliary family.
