JA of Hope has been a part of the Hope and Hempstead County community since 1961 and has donated
numerous hours in 2025-2026 to the chapter’s various projects. The chapter raises funds each year through
their Spaghetti Supper, Egg Your Yard, and Senoritas & Margaritas.

“Community service isn’t just an act of giving; it creates a powerful bond of sisterhood among us. Within the
Junior Auxiliary of Hope, we discover that our collective dedication to uplifting others not only deepens our
connections but also empowers us to make a meaningful and lasting impact in our community.,” stated Junior
Auxiliary of Hope President Carmen Galvan-Cole.

The NAJA slogan is "Time to Live Your Legacy," focusing on the organization's mission to make a lasting difference. Junior Auxiliary chapters are working more than ever to provide care to those less fortunate to make their tomorrows better.
