The Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County is ready to kick off the holiday season in style with the 11th Annual Fall Shopping Frenzy on Nov. 1-2 at Brighton High School.
The Fall Shopping Frenzy has become a Tipton holiday tradition that pairs local artisans and vendors with the Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County, offering an opportunity for shoppers to get a head start on their holiday shopping, while also serving as the primary fundraiser for the Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County’s service projects.
Junior Auxiliary members are encouraged to render charitable services which are beneficial to the public, with emphasis on children; and to cooperate with other organizations performing similar services. On average, the chapter performs over 2,000 community service hours each year.
Each year the Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County develops projects based upon the Child Welfare Project and the National Focus, and evaluates our community’s needs to focus our year’s work.
Some of this year’s JATC projects include:
- Snack Packs for elementary-aged children
- Emergency Assistance for families
- Traveling Library Reading Program
- Crown Club mentoring program for high school girls
- Teacher mini-grants
- Graduating senior college scholarships
