Saugeen Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Gift Shop is closing, a sad result in part due to COVID-19.
Other factors have also contributed to this being its last week of operation including location in the hospital, not being able to sell magazines, books or cards due to COVID restrictions and fewer volunteers who operate the Gift Shop.
The combination has resulted in a loss of revenue that is, in turn, donated to the hospital and, therefore, the Gift Shop is no longer viable.
With this being the last week of operation, the Gift Shop will be holding a ‘blow-out’ sale that will take place August 26th and 27th at the hospital’s former Emergency Bay at the west side of the hospital. It is hoped that all inventory will be sold and, items that remain, may be distributed to other hospital gift shops.
