Nifty Thrifty made a generous donation of $55,000 to the Brodstone Memorial Hospital Foundation in August of 2020. The Brodstone Memorial Hospital Foundation recently used these funds to purchase new surgical equipment for the hospital. This equipment will assist Brodstone in the continued expansion of their surgical department and will increase the availability of surgical procedures within the facility. The expansion will allow patients and community members the comfort and convenience of receiving their surgical care close to home.

Few items the volunteers sell in Superiorʼs Nifty-Thrifty shop cost more than a dollar or two and many of the items can be bought with a coin. but the sales add up.

On behalf of the volunteers, Lori Clyde is pictured passing the symbolic check to Treg Vyzourek, the hospitalʼs chief executive officer.
