The Auxiliary of St. Paul's was organized in 1973 to support the aging residents of the Home. Their purpose remains to develop a concern for the work of St. Paul's and a deep interest in promoting the physical comfort and spiritual well-being of the residents. Members realize this mission through service and fundraising projects. The Auxiliary pledges dollars to purchase items that enhance the residents' lives. This financial support allows St. Paul's to provide a pleasant, safe living environment as well as offer exceptional care.
Nearly $225,000 has been given to St. Paul’s by its Auxiliary to held develop projects including creation of the gift shop, purchase of a transportation vehicle, provision of furnishings for the lobby of The Villas, and a kitchenette and restroom at The OD Anderson Pavilion.
Fundraisers held at St. Paul's throughout the year that benefit the Auxiliary include a Book Sale - held in the spring and fall, a uniform sale - held twice each year, The Annual Bazaar and Bake Sale held in November, and the Annual Yard Sale to name a few.
