According to the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary Dallas President Laura Downing,
“The Dallas Women’s Auxiliary is the local expression of a world-wide movement that seeks spiritual redemption and social rehabilitation of those it serves. It functions as a fundraising and volunteer service group and has many projects and programs that can satisfy an eagerness to volunteer. All members and volunteers are passionate and dedicated to serving others.
“There are many committees that can help you find your passion and fuel it through projects throughout the year. Areas of opportunity include:
- “Focus on children and families when we fill backpacks with school supplies, stuff small gifts in our Christmas Santa Sacks, or provide a meal to women and children who are victims of domestic violence
- “Support those fighting addiction and serve cake at monthly sobriety celebrations
- “Support sobriety and provide birthday cakes to families celebrating monthly milestones in recovery
- “Embark on the spirit of Christmas and volunteer at the NorthPark Angel Tree, help with gift distribution at The Salvation Army Christmas and Disaster Center or ring a bell at an iconic Christmas Red Kettle
- “Sort inventory donated couture clothing and accessories for the annual Fashion Show and Luncheon or volunteer at the Fashion Show After Sale

“The Fashion Show and Luncheon is perhaps of the organization’s most visible projects. Funds raised from the event are awarded to a variety of Salvation Army Programs in North Texas. The Grant Committee reviews requests, conducts site visits with tours, and interviews the Salvation Army officer at the Corps/Service Center to learn about the various services they provide and how their grant request, if funded, will enhance their programs and ministry.
“All of these projects make a difference while having fun and fellowship with others who value your time and support.
