Volunteer Services Gives Back
Thank you to our Volunteer Services!
All of us at Providence St. Mary wish to express our sincere gratitude to Volunteer Services for their generous donation of $50,000! These funds were generated entirely through hospital gift shop sales, operated by our incredible volunteers.
Over the last 29 years, they have donated nearly $3.2 million in support of our ministry. We cannot thank our volunteers enough for giving their time so generously to support our medical center and High Desert community. We are truly grateful for their dedication to our mission.
