Auxiliary members play a vital supportive role on the team by enhancing operations, boosting fundraising efforts, and strengthening community engagement. 

Our auxiliary members volunteer their time and skills to assist with events, administrative tasks, and outreach activities. Their contributions help reduce workload for core members, bring in additional resources, and foster a positive organizational culture.
