Junior Auxiliary of Meridian, Mississippi is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that represents a serious endeavor on the part of women to be active and constructive community participants and to assume leadership roles in meeting community needs. Junior Auxiliary provides members with the opportunity to serve and to be a vital part of the community through chapter service projects that directly benefit children.
Our love for the children extends through local schools, community events, and the homes of families in Lauderdale County. 75+ members serve more than 1500 hours annually across six projects that provide mentoring, school uniforms, personal hygiene items, eye exams and prescription eyeglasses, books, and more. The chapter also funds teacher mini-grants in support of classroom technology and supplies for educators.
Approximately 5,360 children age 0-17 within our service impact area live in poverty (US Census Bureau, 2019). The good work of our chapter directly serves these children.
