Impact Statement
For more than 90 years, the St. Mary's General Hospital Volunteer Association (VA) has played a vital role in supporting patients, families, and the broader hospital community. We operate key fundraising services including Madeleine’s Gift Shop, Tim Hortons, and our Vendor Program, all located at WRHN @ Queen’s Blvd (formerly St. Mary's General Hospital) in Kitchener. Proceeds from these businesses have allowed us to make meaningful financial contributions to the St. Mary's General Hospital Hospital Foundation, enhancing patient care and services.
Our mission is to positively impact the hospital community through collaborative, values-driven volunteerism and strategic initiatives that elevate the experience of patients, families, staff, and volunteers alike.
