Local resident and Coler Auxiliary volunteer Judy Berdy describes the work of the Coler Auxiliary:
The Auxiliary provide all the services that the City and Hospital cannot
provide.
We provide entertainment, we provide things for the Units such as
televisions. We provide some medical devices that are not covered by the
hospital insurance. We provide parties for different occasions like this
weekend, we’re having a Mother’s Day party. We’re having a celebration on
Monday for Juneteenth. At Christmas and Hanukkah time we give out gifts.
We’re a 501 C three not-for-profit and we are legally not part of the
hospital. We work in coordination with the administration…. It’s very
important to fundraise for so that 500 residents there could get a better
lifestyle and more different things to make life better…
Contact Ms Berdy for more info on the Coler Auxiliary.
