Another successful expansion of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop has been completed.
The official grand reopening of the shop on Delta Street in Ladner Village will be held this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. After acquiring a third contiguous space last year and undertaking extensive renovations over the last few months, upgrades to all three spaces are now complete.
The grand re-opening will be celebrated with balloons, coffee and a specially baked cake as well as entertainment by The Point Roberts Winds.
Five lucky winners will receive gift certificates through a draw and visitors can tour the three freshly renovated shops to select well-priced clothing, household goods, furniture and electrical items.
About 150 hard-working and dedicated thrift shop volunteers give 5,000 hours each month to sort, price, display and sell items donated by the public, which has been supporting the auxiliary's efforts over the past 40 years.
Because of this great partnership, the thrift shop is the largest financial contributor to the auxiliary, which provides care and comfort to patients at Delta Hospital and funds the purchase of leading edge equipment.
