Volunteers from the Clearwater Curiosity Shop thrift store (back, l-r) Barb Danchuk, Helen Heater, Linda Mackenzie, (front, l-r) Lynda Fuller, Joy Lifton and Heidi Funk hand over three alternating pressure mattresses to Dr. John Soles, chief of medical staff at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital, and Berni Easson, CIHS administrator for Thompson-Caribou Rural.
The mattresses have air-filled baffles that constantly change, helping to prevent bedsores.
The donation was the first for the new thrift store, which opened last July and is located across from Clearwater Food Bank.
Missing volunteers include Therese Goodie, Louise Richardson and Bob Mackenzie.Photo by Keith McNeill
