Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary of Vicksburg
.From the 30 women who organized the Vicksburg Chapter of the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary in 1976 to the nearly 80 members in 2018, these women have served with the "Heart to God, Hand to Man" philosophy of the worldwide Salvation Army. Serving as a fund-raising and volunteer service group, the volunteers of the Auxiliary have impacted thousands of people in need of services provided by The Salvation Army.
Fund-Raisers and Service Projects

Since 2012, Auxiliary members have assisted in collecting school supplies, book bags, and funds for purchasing these for students in need. Many filled book bags were distributed in 2017 to students within Warren and Claiborne counties.
