What We Do
Meetings
The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary has five general meetings each year on the 4th Tuesday of the month starting at 10:00 am with social starting at 9:30. During the social time we have some light food and beverage, time to chat with other members, and the opportunity to purchase gently used books and sometimes other items to contribute to our fundraising. We have community speakers on a wide range of topics of interest to our members at our September, October, January, and March meetings. Our officers are elected at our March meeting, and our May meeting is reserved for thanking our previous officers and installing new officers.
Service Activities
Members of the Auxiliary volunteer their time and resources for many programs, and community members are often invited to join in the activities. Here is a sample of activities:
- Angel Tree applications and staffing the Angel Tree at the malls
- Bag and sort Angel Tree gifts and stockings for distribution
- Silver Wings gifts and stockings for Senior Citizens
- Clothing Drive for Angel Tree
- Angel Tree and Silver Wings distribution
- League of Mercy workshops creating favors for local Nursing Home residents
- Visiting the local Nursing Homes
- Preparing gift bags for Center of Hope residents
