Junior Auxiliary of Rankin County

Junior Auxiliary of Rankin County JARC is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that exists to serve the needs of families in Rankin County, with a particular emphasis on children.

Our Purpose:
"Care Today...Character Tomorrow..." Four simple words that thousands of women have taken to heart since the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries was founded in 1941 in Greenville, Mississippi. The Rankin County Chapter was chartered by a group of caring, enthusiastic women in 1986 and continues to grow and thrive, serving one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Proje

cts range from visiting the elderly, to working in the schools, to lending a helping hand to families in need. We work tirelessly throughout the year on a variety of projects focusing on children and families because we believe strong families are the backbone of strong communities. Most recently JARC helped several struggling families through some very trying times which would have directly impacted the family situation and stability. The Junior Auxiliary of Rankin County is a member of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries, Inc. For more information on the Rankin County Chapter visit our website or e-mail us.

June Member of the Month โ€“ Dr. Melissa McCray

In June, we proudly recognized Dr. Melissa McCray as our Member of the Month for her outstanding service and exemplary leadership. As a dedicated educator, Dr. McCray has spent many years inspiring, mentoring, and leading others with excellence and integrity.

Recently, she accepted the new assignment of Provisional Trainer and has already made a remarkable impact in this role. Her vision and leadership in planning the interest meeting for the incoming class were exceptional. The meeting was engaging, well-organized, and effectively captured the enthusiasm and interest of prospective members.

Dr. McCrayโ€™s commitment to service, passion for developing others, and ability to lead with purpose continue to make a positive difference. We congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to her continued success and contributions.

Congratulations, Dr. Melissa McCray, on being our June Member of the Month! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‘
