Since its inception, the Window Shop has played a pivotal role in supporting patient care initiatives at MCH. The volunteers who run the shop have raised significant funds for the hospital over the decades, donating most of them to help us improve patient care. Donations from the shop have facilitated significant improvement projects, including the implementation of an electronic medication dispensing tracking program, the establishment of the simulation lab offering a comprehensive training space for MCH staff and local EMTs, the provision of oversized gurneys for the operating room, and multiple enhancements to the Birthing Suite.
During the pandemic, the Window Shop pivoted its focus to support MCH’s hardworking employees. A portion of the proceeds was redirected towards morale-boosting projects such as homemade dinner raffles and various initiatives aimed at providing support to the hospital staff. Other projects also include the heartwarming tradition of donating approximately 300 onesie t-shirts to babies born at MCH each year for almost two decades.
Proceeds have also paid for a number of Window Shop relocations over the decades and the new remodel.
Nancy Speeney, one of 22 who volunteer at the Shop today, says, “Being a volunteer here is incredibly fulfilling and I truly look forward to coming in every day.”

Since its inception, the Window Shop has played a pivotal role in supporting patient care initiatives at MCH. The volunteers who run the shop have raised significant funds for the hospital over the decades, donating most of them to help us improve patient care. Donations from the shop have facilitated significant improvement projects, including the implementation of an electronic medication dispensing tracking program, the establishment of the simulation lab offering a comprehensive training space for MCH staff and local EMTs, the provision of oversized gurneys for the operating room, and multiple enhancements to the Birthing Suite.
During the pandemic, the Window Shop pivoted its focus to support MCH’s hardworking employees. A portion of the proceeds was redirected towards morale-boosting projects such as homemade dinner raffles and various initiatives aimed at providing support to the hospital staff. Other projects also include the heartwarming tradition of donating approximately 300 onesie t-shirts to babies born at MCH each year for almost two decades.
Proceeds have also paid for a number of Window Shop relocations over the decades and the new remodel.
Nancy Speeney, one of 22 who volunteer at the Shop today, says, “Being a volunteer here is incredibly fulfilling and I truly look forward to coming in every day.”
