The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary is organized to promote the purposes of The Salvation Army in our local community. Its activities may include special fund raising through approved projects, furnishing volunteer workers, distribution of food and clothing, leadership in group work, and many other activities.
Membership
The membership consists of outstanding non-Salvationist women in the community, who by their influence or activity can further the work of the Army. A Salvation Army officer is designated as an ex-officio member to act as liaison between The Salvation Army and the auxiliary.
Structure
From the membership a president, secretary and treasurer are elected as well as other officers as may be authorized by resolution of the auxiliary. Auxiliaries may adopt by-laws relating to local settings, made in keeping with the national Manual of Advisory Organizations for the Women's Auxiliary. The members are encouraged to volunteer in one or more of the organized committees in which they have interest. Working closely together on projects fosters friendship and a great deal of satisfaction as goals are accomplished and people are helped.
In Thurston County the Women’s Auxiliary has an exemplary history of service beginning in October 1966 and continuing today.
