Tina Garrett said delighting local children in need is a big part of what makes the Junior Auxiliary of Winona important to her.

“I love seeing the smiles on the faces of the children we nurture, and I hope that the children we come in contact with grow into productive citizens and always remember to love and support we provided to them,” Garrett said.

“I love that we are helping local children,” said current JA member, Shirley Hamilton. “So often we think mission work is something you have to travel to do when we can also do it in our own community.
