In 2021, the Nicola Valley Health Care Auxiliary donated $149, 616.25 to support the health and welfare of our community. 
This brings our donations to over $1,100,000.
Funds raised by the Nicola Valley Health Care Auxiliary go directly back into the community to purchase much needed equipment and supplies for the Nicola Valley Hospital and Health Centre and Gillis House. The Auxiliary also provides Christmas funds for Gillis House and Ska-lu-la.
Additionally, the Auxiliary presents $2,000 bursaries each year to
​students in the Nicola Valley entering the health care field. 
​We thank all of our loyal donors, customers, and hard working volunteers who support us.
