Volunteer Dollars at Work at Witham

Funds raised by Witham volunteers make a meaningful difference across our health system. Through gift shop purchases, special events, and other fundraising efforts, volunteers help provide resources that enhance patient care and comfort. These dollars often support new equipment, patient programs, staff education, and other initiatives that might not otherwise be possible. Every contribution reflects the dedication of our volunteers and their shared commitment to strengthening care for our patients and community.

• 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. 

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.
