St Martha's Regional Hospital Auxiliary exists to give financial and other assistance for the sole benefit of St. Martha's Regional Hospital, to extend interest in the SMRH Auxiliary throughout the town, county and surrounding areas and provide volunteer services in the hospital.
SMRH Auxiliary has 49 active members with over 100 volunteers who work diligently towards a common goal by staffing the various shops & events run by the Auxiliary. These include The Breakaway Cafe, located in the entrance of the hospital, providing an inviting place for patients, visitors and the general public to find nourishment as well as a friendly location to await a drive or just sit and rest. Adjacent to cafe is The Gift Corner a wonderful place to purchase many interesting and affordable gift items.
Major fund raisers for the Auxiliary are The Jingle Bell Frolic in November which has seafood chowder as it's main attraction as well as many seasonal and affordable items for sale and Mayfest a large and varied attraction drawing people from many local communities. Displays and stalls at this event include a Teddy Bear Clinic, a cake walk, Science world, Straw Draw, Attic Treasures, a Garden Center and much more.
Our efforts have proven to be very profitable over the years, allowing us to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to St. Martha's for much needed equipment. .Although this requires hard work, our members truly enjoy giving back to their communities and look forward to continuing this service for many years to come
