Each of the six Auxiliaries plans its annual meeting calendar to fit its unique mission enhancement, which members develop with the support of the Board.

Every Auxiliary has the opportunity to serve at casual, fun unpacking events where volunteers unpack and bundle baby items to prepare for layette assemblies. They also assist with production-line style layette assemblies. Members get first-hand exposure to our partner agencies when they deliver layettes to the agency locations. 

Other activities include:

                •             Assembling literacy materials

                •             Supporting scholarship and family initiatives

                •             Assisting with events and outreach

                •             Participating in fundraising efforts

These opportunities to do good are done in “small bites” to accommodate busy schedules.

Becoming a member of an Auxiliary provides an opportunity to do good and impactful work, while building meaningful friendships and strengthening our community. Our members often say they joined looking for a way to help, but also found lasting friendships, purpose, and joy.

A major focus of membership is developing a sense of community among members. Auxiliaries may plan for spiritual, educational, and social activities according to their members’ interests. 

Whether you can give a little time or a lot, there is a place for you here. Christ Child Society of Omaha is more than an organization to support. It’s a community to belong to.

Auxiliary Groups are typically comprised of women of the Catholic faith. However, men and individuals of other faiths are welcome to join. 

Adults of all ages participate in Auxiliaries.

Members can choose from six auxiliary groups:

Ses Amie consists of members who do not yet have school-aged children.

Most Les Anges members have children in grade school and middle school.

C’est L’Amour members typically have children in high school or college.

L’Esprit is an ideal group for empty nesters and members nearing retirement.

Ses Enfant members are usually in their 70’s and 80’s, retired, and still very active.

Members are free to move amongst Auxiliaries to find their best fit. Each auxiliary has its own personality — but all share the same purpose: turning compassion into action.

There is no special experience required. Just a willingness to serve and the desire to help children in need.

Auxiliary members pay an annual membership fee of $60. Auxiliary Groups may choose to increase that amount to support additional Auxiliary functions.
