Help Support Our Children and Families

Hephzibah Auxiliary Boards are a great way to get involved and volunteer your time to further the mission of Hephzibah Children’s Association. The benefits to you include forming new friendships, engaging with your community and discovering new purpose in life. They are also fun!

We have three active auxiliary boards: Oak Park Auxiliary, Chicago Auxiliary, and the Western Auxiliary. Our auxiliary boards raise awareness of Hephzibah and of what we do, host fundraising events and organize activities for children residing at Hephzibah Home. Our auxiliary boards are inspiring and bring the spirit of community to every event.
