Groves Hospital Volunteer Association


Join Our Community Impact!

Groves Hospital Volunteer Association (GHVA) is more than just a group of volunteers; we're a dedicated team committed to supporting Groves Memorial Community Hospital and enhancing healthcare in our community.

Since 1933, GHVA has played a crucial role in providing supplementary patient services and crucial funding at Groves Hospital. Our volunteers are an integral part of the Groves family, working alongside hospital staff, patients, and families to ensure the best possible care and experience for all.

GHVA volunteers also contribute to our not-for-profit stores, New to You Fergus and the Groves Hospital Gift Shop, further extending our impact on patient care and community support.

As we celebrate over 90 years of service, we continue to welcome new volunteers to join our amazing team. With a variety of volunteer opportunities available, there's something to suit everybody. Whether you're interested in patient support, fundraising, or community outreach, your unique skills and experiences are valued and appreciated.

In 2022 alone, our dedicated volunteers contributed 18,400 hours towards our goals, making GHVA a truly local community charity organization. We're immensely grateful for their dedication and contributions, which have helped shape the exceptional care provided at Groves Hospital.

You can support GHVA and Groves Hospital in several ways:
-  Volunteer your time and skills to make a meaningful impact in our community.
-  Shop at New to You Fergus or the Groves Hospital Gift Shop, where all proceeds directly benefit patient care.
-  Donate gently used items to New to You Fergus, providing vital support to Groves Hospital while decluttering your home.
