Florence Crittenton Auxiliary:

Florence Crittenton Auxiliary members act as compassionate mentors for pregnant and mothering teens who have been court-ordered to Florence Crittenton Services. They also provide vital funding for special projects.

Once a month, Auxiliary members meet with the girls in "Circle" sessions. In-home activities include playing bingo, baking cookies or making a variety of crafts. They also get to experience movies, trips to the mall or walks at Presque Isle State Park. These interactions help the girls develop self-esteem and more positive social skills.

A variety of fundraisers like Christmas holly sales; raffles; rummage sales; and most recently, a spring luncheon - raise money used for monthly "Circles," for "We Care" bags filled with personal care items and given to each new resident on admittance, for birthday and Christmas gifts, and for any special projects to improve the residence.

Florence Crittenton Auxiliary members carry on a proud tradition as compassionate mentors for our young mothers and help provide vital funding for special needs. Becoming a volunteer member is easy and the time commitment necessary fits almost any type of schedule.
