Hopewell Borough Ladies Auxiliary Welcomes Volunteers

Hopewell Borough Ladies Auxiliary

The Hopewell Borough Ladies Auxiliary meets at the Borough Fire House on Thursday evenings from September till June at 7:30 p.m.

This group of ladies is strictly volunteer and they support the firefighters of the Hopewell Borough. The ladies are the ones that come to the station on a cold winter night when there is a fire and prepare a hot meal for the weary firefighters. They provide blankets and stuffed animals along with coffee and other drinks when there is a fire at the scene.

For the most part they are in the background of the men that they serve. But this group is very involved and very outspoken. They hold many fund raisers and events throughout the year.

They are in need of volunteers and give a warm welcome anyone joining the group. A member can get as involved as they want and if a member does have a "day job" or little children, they will not contact you in the middle of the night to help cook for the men.

Several of the members are mothers and spouses of the firemen. There are some multigenerational members as well.

The ladies are always looking for a new way to raise money. Their largest fund raiser is the Mother's Day Flower Sale that is held at the Hopewell Borough Firehouse on Mother's Day weekend. The community comes out to buy and the ladies gather the day and evening before the sale to get everything organized.

Some of the members also take their time to plant the beautiful flowers outside of the Firehouse.

Among other events that they work on is the Halloween Parade, the Santa Visits and Christmas Tree Lighting along with the Memorial Day Parade and many Mercer County Ladies Auxiliary meetings and State Meetings.

Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting and working with these ladies will remember their warmth and generosity. VOLUNTEER, it is fun and you make new friends. (September is not very far away)
