The St. Mary’s Hospital Auxiliary is pleased to once again host its holiday bazaar. This year’s annual event will be held on Friday, Oct. 28. The public is invited and all proceeds benefit the hospital.

The popular event features a host of items to fulfill your holiday gift list, including beautiful handmade items such as quilts, crocheted blankets and more. A variety of gourmet nuts perfect for entertaining, gift-giving or for use in cooking and baking will also be on sale. Other items that will be available include the Auxiliary cookbook that features recipes from all over our community, as well as homemade baked goods, holiday decorations, floral arrangements and wreaths.

Over the past two decades, the Auxiliary has given countless hours and monetary donations for vital hospital improvements. These volunteers raise funds for St. Mary’s Hospital through a variety of venues. Proceeds from the group’s events and activities help to purchase medical equipment and to support numerous programs at the hospital.

Please join the Hospital Auxiliary for this festive annual event. The bazaar will be held in the hospital’s front lobby from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28. Please call Rosemary Cox at 301-475-9645 or the St. Mary’s Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop at 301-475-6153 for more information.
