Junior Auxiliary of Cleveland, TN exists to serve children and families in the Cleveland/Bradley County area. Our projects focus on meeting basic needs of life, providing educational tools, and partnering with other non-profits in their community work. For example, one of our major projects is Have a Heart, Give a Sole: In honor of Melissa Huggins Jones, who tragically passed after her provisional year, this shoe drive provides a brand new pair of shoes for local children in need. Working with school guidance counselors, our last drive provided 300+ pairs of shoes to children in Cleveland and Bradley County. As a non-profit organization, our entire budget is procured through fundraising efforts. Each year, we host a spring fundraiser to fund our budget for the next fiscal year. This year, our theme is Blossom and Bloom, and our major venue for donations is an online auction.
