Volunteer dollars at work

In addition to giving your time, you can financially support the Volunteer Organization. Donations supply needed items for the hospital, and contributions are tax-deductible. Money donated to the Volunteer Organization provides meaningful assistance to Witham. Recently, volunteer dollars have been used to provide the following:

• Mammography capes: At the request of the Imaging department, the volunteer organization purchased capes, as well as plush robes for women to use during mammography appointments.
• Wet umbrella bags and stands: The volunteer organization purchased wet umbrella bags and stands for the main hospital and ER entrances. These bags keep umbrellas from dripping on floors and possibly causing falls.

•  Comfort Cart- The Comfort Cart is brought to each room with various items for the patients. The cart includes: backscratchers, comb & brush, nail file & clipper, lens cleaner, crossword puzzles & pens, magazines, chap stick & note pads.

Witham's Volunteer Organization hosts several fundraising events each year:

• Quarterly Seasonal Raffle Basket – anyone can purchase raffle tickets
• Spring Flower Sale – Hanging Baskets & Patio Flowers
• Rise N Roll Bake Sale
• Fall Mum Sale
• Nutman Sale
• Masquerade Jewelry and Accessory Sale
• Geneva Linen Sale
• Titus Bake Sale
• All proceeds are used for the Boone County High School Scholarship program - and - to assist with funding of various initiatives at Witham.
