Auxiliary

The Transition House Auxiliary was organized in 1993 to assist by raising funds for on-going programs at Transition House and to provide direct assistance to clients. The members’ work supports children and their families experiencing homelessness in making successful transitions to housing and financial stability.

Auxiliary members are especially dedicated to supporting the needs of children. They provide funding for specialized services in our programs for kids, offering young children and teens access to counseling, camp experiences, field trips and more. Each fall, they equip students with backpacks filled with essential school supplies, ensuring they start the year prepared and on equal footing with their peers.

The Auxiliary also provides scholarships for study and career development by helping with tuition costs, books, uniforms and special equipment for clients. For families moving from the shelter into apartments, the Auxiliary provides assistance with basic household items.

The Auxiliary hosts their signature fundraising event in the spring, the Mad Hatter Luncheon, as well as other small fundraising events during the year. Members are always available to help with other Transition House requests.

The Transition House Auxiliary meets on the third Tuesday of each month. To learn more about the Auxiliary or how to join, please contact Jacquie McMahon at . The Auxiliary welcomes prospective members as guests to their monthly meetings to learn more about Transition House’s work in the community and how Auxiliary activities support the agency.
