About Us

The Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport, founded in 1948, believes that caring for a child today makes an important difference, not only at that moment in a child’s life, but for the future. This belief has been the driving force behind the efforts of the Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport since its founding 71 years ago.

As we look around us and see the growth and renewal in our lives and community, we are reminded daily that adversity can be overcome by both giving and receiving assistance and working together toward common goals. We know the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

The Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport is honored to serve children and their families in Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport and other areas of Harrison County, Mississippi. During the 2018-2019 service year, our volunteer members served over 23,000 children and their families.
