KMC gift shop volunteers donate proceeds to hospital operations
Sunday PM (SitNews) Ketchikan, Alaska - The volunteers who run the gift shop in the Ketchikan Medical Center (KMC) lobby have given about $750,000 to PeaceHealth Ketchikan since the shop opened in 1977.
Kathy Fitzgerald is the volunteer shop manager. “All profits from the gift shop go back to the hospital through a grant program,” she said. “This year we had about $54,000 to dedicate to equipment and training materials.”

In the past, volunteers met to decide where to donate the proceeds. It was, of course, different this year. “We ‘met’ and voted by email this year,” said Fitzgerald.
