The women's auxiliary raised enough funds to purchase 65 3-D printed instruments for five of the Corps' children's music ministry.

WOMEN’S AUXILIARY OF WASHINGTON DC

The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary of Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the Advisory Board, strives to create public interest in and support for the dedicated service of The Salvation Army to our community, of which it has become a vital part.

Mrs. John Allen Doughtery was the founder of the D.C. Women’s Auxiliary, and its first recorded meeting was held in February 1948. A group of about a dozen women formed the nucleus of the organization, which is in the ensuing years achieved a membership of over 600. The activities of the Auxiliary have increased over the years and much has been accomplished for the benefit of the Army.

Our goal is to continue growing the organization through membership, raise and provide necessary funds to support the Army and meet the needs of the community in the best way possible. We cannot do this without you!

To join, please click on the New/Renewal Membership tab.
