Bursaries are supported by the proceeds of the Summerland Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Shop.

The thrift shop has operated in Summerland for 61 years and the auxiliary gave $452,000 to health care services last year.

The thrift shop is open from 1 to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and is always looking for volunteer support.
