Hospital Vesak Fundraiser

The Patient Resource Depot provides clothing, shoes and other basic necessities for vulnerable patients/clients of every age at Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Centre. The Resource Depot is funded solely by donations, including financial support from the SMH Auxiliary volunteers, and in-kind donations from staff, and many other community groups and individuals. As the Hospital grows and we serve more community members so does the number of extremely needy people that need support. The Patient Resource Depot assisted close to 6500 people last year. In the old days the Social Workers scrambled to try to find something and people were at times even discharged in a hospital gown. Thanks to this project we can take care of people and get them discharge so someone else can have a bed.
