Junior Auxiliary of Garland County is a group of women dedicated to serving Garland County through volunteer work, community projects, and support for children and families in need. Junior Auxiliary represents a serious endeavor by women to be active and constructive participants in the communities in which they live and to assume responsible leadership in meeting community needs. Junior Auxiliary provides members the opportunity to serve and be a vital part of the community through various service projects in the health, recreational, welfare, civic, cultural, and educational fields. Our Projects Include:
