Volunteers & Auxiliary

The time and talents the adult and junior volunteers give to the patients and staff of St. Joseph's Hospital in Breese makes a difference. Sevices include:

Bake Sales Blood Drives Christmas Bazaar Computer support Flower delivery Gift Shop (managing, staff) Health Screening Programs Outpatient Registration Quilting projects (quilting, sales, raffles, silent auctions) Recycling and cost-savings projects Used Book Fair Ward Clerk helpers

Members of the Auxiliary traditionally take the opportunity of Hospital Week in May to present a check to the hospital and of their annual meeting in June to present grants-in-aid to healthcare students.

Many opportunities are available. For more information, contact Volunteer Services at 618.526-5351 or email Judy Schrage.

Quilting
A group of about 40 volunteers meet from 9 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays in the Quilting Building in Breese to quilt. Others donate embroidered squares, work to cut, piece and mark the tops and hem the quilts. The handmade quilts are then sold in the Gift Shop, raffled off or put up for silent auction. On average, one finished quilt is donated to the hospital each week.
