Auxiliary members exemplify the phrase “sharing time, talent, and treasure.” Our unique structure includes six independent 501c3 organizations spanning from San Francisco to San Jose. Collectively we manage Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, the Gift Shop at the hospital, and The Thrift Box in San Jose. Annually we conduct 18 special events. We decorate rooms for our sickest patients and make christening gowns. We provide holiday meals for patients and their families and “heart carts” for nurses who need respite during their day. We provide items for the Teen Van, breast pumps to underserved communities, and books to the community to encourage reading. We touch every corner of the hospital.
