School Aid

Members of the Junior Auxiliary chapter have been on call to area schools for 40 years providing clothing, school supplies, medical, dental and financial assistance for children K-12 in partnership with the school counselors. Once a student in need is identified by the teacher or school nurse, the JA representative is called. These needs can be clothing, assistance in paying rent, emergency dental care, ADHD medication, or utility assistance. In 2008, we spent over $18,000 on our Biloxi and Ocean Springs School Aid project. This is by far our largest on-going project.
