The Auxiliary of Hebrew Health Care, Inc.
The Auxiliary of Hebrew Health Care is a multi-generational group, almost 1,300 strong, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of our residents wherever we see the need through volunteerism and fund raising. The Auxiliary began one hundred and five years ago when the “Handkerchief Brigade” took ten years to collect $1,000 in nickels to purchase the first Home. We have, therefore, been referred to as the “heart of the heart” in Hebrew Health Care.
