Mercy Auxiliary-Berryville
A Million Reasons to Say "Thank You"
In October 2013, the auxiliary reached a very big goal, raising its one millionth dollar for the benefit of patients and their families at Mercy Hospital Berryville. Learn more here.
The purpose of the Mercy Auxiliary-Berryville volunteer group is to serve the community especially within the hospital in any manner deemed appropriate by the members.
Volunteers are always being accepted. Just ask any member and you'll find out there really is something for everyone! Even if you like sewing or baking projects, you can do that at home to benefit Mercy patients. Here are some ways you can help:
- Thrift Shop
- Gift Shop
- Knitting baby afghans for the Thrift Shop
- Help at the hospital - information desk and surgery waiting
- Make items for auxiliary bake sales
- Make favors for patient lunch trays on holidays and other special days
- Callers for telephone committee
Mercy is honored to offer teens an opportunity to experience six weeks of summer service in our hospital and clinics in Berryville.
- Applicants must be 15 – 17 years old to apply
- After applications are reviewed, a letter will be emailed out to applicants regarding acceptance to the program.
Returning teens will be accepted into our summer program.

For your personal planning, the requirements for volunteens are as follows:
- Volunteens will be required to attend one 3-hour orientation.
