Denver Metro Women's Auxiliary

The Denver Metro Women’s Auxiliary was established in 1962 to support The Salvation Army in their efforts to serve those in need in the Denver Metro communities. The Doll Tea began in 1974 to raise funds to be shared as grants among the 5 Corps and several programs to supplement their budgets and help with outreach. The Doll Tea was successful and has continued to date as our annual fundraiser. The name changed to the Holiday Boutique while the spirit and success has continued and grown. We are celebrating our 50th Anniversary of the Holiday Boutique, formerly the Doll Tea, on November 1-2, 2024!

Our members take part in a variety of activities year-round. We have opportunities to serve that fit every kind of schedule. The primary activity is creating items through crafting, sewing, and quilts to prepare for the Holiday Boutique. We have a workshop that meets February to October. All members are invited to attend and share their creative talents and ideas. Other ways to help with the Holiday Boutique are baking cookies for our Tea Table and baking cookies, cakes, breads, canning sweet and savory goodies, and your favorite bake sale type items for our Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard.

A program that specifically benefits children is the Women’s Auxiliary Remembrance Fund. This fund is a wonderful way to honor people in your lives and provides Camperships for less advantaged children to attend the Salvation Army camp near Estes Park which gives inner city children the chance to experience the great outdoors and learn about nature, themselves, and God.
