The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary functions as a fund raising and volunteer service group. A designated Representative serves as an ex officio member of each women's auxiliary. This person is a Salvation Army officer appointed as the liaison between the Auxiliary and the program(s) to be supported by that Auxiliary. The Salvation Army believes in "meeting the need at the point of need," so its advisory organizations are located right where the human needs and problems arise, in local communities and neighborhoods. The Army has a centralized procedure for defining policy and coordinating practice, but the local responsibility focuses on program, funding, administration and public relations. As a Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary member, you will have the privilege of working with the local expression of a worldwide movement that seeks the spiritual redemption and social rehabilitation of those it serves. You will learn all about the structure, services and goals of The Salvation Army and how they relate to the local programs. As you work with the Representative to meet local needs you will develop competence and initiative.
