Methodist Charlton Auxiliary

img

Founded in September 2010, the Methodist Charlton Medical Center Auxiliary is a group of community-minded volunteers who have come together to raise awareness through fundraising for the programs and services available at Methodist Charlton Medical Center. Since 2010, the Auxiliary has raised and distributed over $125,000.

General meeting information and Auxiliary programs

General meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month (except for June, July, August, and December) from 12:30 – 2 p.m. at Methodist Charlton.

Programs include a guest speaker, information about Methodist Charlton Auxiliary events, and an opportunity to socialize with other like-minded individuals. During these luncheons, Auxiliary members are introduced to the various departments and services available at Methodist Charlton or learn about relevant healthcare topics, such as heart health or breast cancer awareness.

Membership

Auxiliary members participate in various ways, such as staffing auxiliary events at the hospital, working on committees, volunteering at the popcorn stand, and serving in leadership roles. Anyone 18 years of age or older is welcome to become an Auxiliary member. Annual membership dues are $25, which help cover the cost of lunches that are served during the general meetings.

Fundraisers

  • Popcorn Friday is a weekly event in the main lobby of Methodist Charlton, during which Auxiliary volunteers sell $1 bags of popcorn from noon-3:00 p.m. Since its inception in 2010, this fundraiser has raised over $37,000.
