Have you visited the St. Luke’s Hospital Gift Shop or the thrift shop? Neither shop would function without the help of volunteers.

At St. Luke’s Hospital, volunteers in the gift shop manage the daily operations of the shop including all merchandise sales and keeping the shelves stocked and tidy.

The St. Luke’s Hospital Thrift Shop would not operate without its almost 50 volunteers.  It is located in downtown Tryon and operates Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m.  4 p.m.

Through thrift shop and gift shop sales, as well as individual gifts, the auxiliary has donated more than $2 million to St. Luke’s Hospital for equipment purchases and upgrades.

Recently, a luncheon was held to honor St. Luke’s Hospital volunteers. Volunteers honored for 1,000 hours were Diane McEntee and Frank Williams.

A sincere appreciation is extended to all volunteers who share their time and talents so willingly on behalf of St. Luke’s Hospital.
