RICHMOND HOSPITAL AUXILIARY THRIFT SHOP

Our shop is located at 3920 Moncton St. and has been in Steveston for 27 years. Our Annual Curio Sale, held Nov. 7th & 8th, was a great success. We thank everyone who came, found some treasures, and spent their money in support of the Richmond Hospital. Our Christmas stock is now in the store, and there are lots of ornaments, decorations, etc., at super prices. In December, we will be presenting the Hospital with a cheque for $225,000. The Hospital provides the Auxiliary with a "Wish List" and we get to choose what equipment, patient comfort needs, etc. we feel would do the most good. The Richmond Hospital serves the whole community of Richmond and we depend on the same community to support our Thrift Shop. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers for their support, and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New year.
