Auxiliary was established in 1974. The main activity of the Auxiliary is to provide
financial support for the people served by Friendship. This is done through fundraising
events such as the Bazaarfest at West Acres in October and our annual rummage
sale in August. The profits from these events go towards purchasing Christmas
gifts for the people we serve and providing for any special needs they may have.

No
matter how much time or talent you have to give, you would be
a welcome addition to our Auxiliary.

of the people we serve are members of their church. We are not able to provide
a staff person for everyone who wants to be active in their church. Therefore,
it is important that people from various congregations volunteer to provide transportation
to and compainionship while at church activities. Volunteers are matched with
the person and aided by staff in becoming acquainted with the person. If needed,
staff will accompany a volunteer and the person until the volunteer feels comfortable
with being an Interfaith Volunteer.
One volunteer remarked, "Being an Interfaith Volunteer and
seeing Ken |
|
| become
a part of our church family has been a very rewarding experience for me and my
family." Another volunteer and her family assisted an individual in preparation
for communion in her church. This person now has three volunteer families and
all enjoy taking him to church. |

BECOMING
A FRIEND |
|
Would
you like to get to know someone we serve by becoming their friend? Here is a list
of some of the things a friend might do: go to a movie, a concert or sporting
event, an afternoon in the park, assist with baking cookies, or stops by for a
visit. All of these things can be very rewarding experiences for the volunteer
and add to the quality of life for the person served. |
