Auxiliary

The Fond du Lac Lutheran Home began its ministry in May of 1947. There were fourteen members at the beginning of the Auxiliary. Now the Auxiliary boasts over 40 members.

The Auxiliary celebrated their 60th anniversary in May of 2007.

The Auxiliary is very active at Lutheran Homes & Health Services. They provide activities and sponsor parties for the residents and program participants. They spend endless hours making hand-crafted items to sell in the Treasures Unlimited Gift Shop. All proceeds of their hard work are returned to Lutheran Homes and Health Services to enhance the lives of people served through their programs.

The Auxiliary has contributed over $24,000 in the past 5 years. Items included are:

• Popcorn machine
• Bird aviarys
• Beauty shop sinks
• Hymnals for the chapel
• Aqua pumps
• Therapeutic recreation items for resident entertainment
• Mother's Day corsages
• St. Patrick's Day parties
• Bingo parties
• Christmas parties and gifts
• Contributions to the Generations of Caring and Capital Campaign Funds for the LHHS Foundation
• Support of Foundation fundraisers

The Auxiliary meets monthly, September through June, the last Wednesday of each month. They do not hold regular meetings in July or August.
