The mission of the Women and Children's Auxiliary is a simple one that is changing the lives of hundreds of patients and their children each year. With kindness, compassion and generosity, the Auxiliary’s goal is to support women with children who are taking the courageous steps to recover from their addictions. Sandy Ellis, Secretary for the Auxiliary says supporting the Center was an easy decision. "When I learned the mission of the Women and Children’s Center was to support mothers and their kids in the recovery process, it made such sense to me! What is more important that the love, compassion and growth that occurs between a mother and her child in all circumstances."
The Women and Children’s Auxiliary was created in 2003, thanks to kindness and passion of Auxiliary Co-Chair, Ginny Peterson. Since then the Auxiliary has grown to 66 members of strong community leaders. This exceptional group of women supports the Women and Children's Center in many ways. Each year they host an Easter and Holiday Party for the patients, as well as a back-to-school supply drive in the summer. The Auxiliary has brought joy and hope to the female patients and their children.
