St. John's Auxiliary board members, 2026

St. John’s Circle of Care Auxiliary

The St. John’s Circle of Care Auxiliary enriches the lives of residents through volunteer service, fundraising, and community engagement.

How the Auxiliary Makes a Difference

The purpose of the auxiliary organization is to promote and advance the needs and programming of the residents and tenants of St. John’s Circle of Care. Auxiliary members volunteer their time, lead fundraising events, and help provide items and programs that make daily life brighter for the people we serve.

The Auxiliary also takes part in staff appreciation initiatives and awards an annual $500 scholarship to an employee pursuing a medical career.

Memberships dues are $5.00 per year.

2024 Auxiliary Board of Directors

The Auxiliary board is formed with a representative from eight area churches. Four officers are elected at the annual meeting, held on the second Monday each November.

Meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of the month (excluding June, July, November, and December).
