Mary Black Volunteers
What do Volunteers do?
The Mary Black Volunteers provide a long list of services that improve hospital stays for patients and their families. Most services are performed regularly, such as staffing the Cheer Cart (delivering refreshments, books and personal supplies throughout the hospital) or working in a waiting room. Regardless of where your talents or interests lie, we know you will fit in perfectly!
The amount of time you volunteer is up to you - a little time or a lot of time - most volunteers work a minimum of half a day, one day per week. Our adult volunteer program is open to all adults, age 18+ - men are not excluded. The Junior Volunteer Summer Program is for teens, age 14 - 18. If you are interested in volunteering call Teresa Vickers at 864-573-3921.

Mary Black Auxiliary
Mary Black Memorial Hospital has a long, proud history and so does the Mary Black Auxiliary. Established in 1968, the Mary Black Auxiliary continues to grow as more people learn of the wonderful opportunities it offers.
Proceeds from the Merry Bee Gift Shop and other activities help the Auxiliary to fund the following:
- Crayons and coloring books for children in the waiting areas
- Coffee service in Endoscopy, Surgery and outpatient Surgery waiting rooms
- Financial assistance for seniors and their families for the Lifeline personal response service. This 24-hour service enables the frail elderly and those with physical limitations to continue to live in their own homes, while giving peace of mind to their families.
- Memory rings and boxes for Moms' who have lost babies on our Birthing Center
- Junior Volunteer Scholarships
