Eben Ezer Auxiliary
The Eben Ezer Auxiliary was established to “enhance the lives of the residents of Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center through fundraising and promotion of public relations and good will in any way possible. Support from the Auxiliary plays a critical role in the success and development of the Eben Ezer campus and programs. Major projects include:
- Fall Festival: Our annual fundraiser held on the fourth Saturday in September. All proceeds support activities and outings for the neighbors, along with other special projects and requests.
- Eben Ezer Cemetery: Restoration and maintenance of our historic cemetery where Jens Madsen, his wife, and several deaconesses are laid to rest.
- Special Events: Our annual Luau, holiday parties for the neighbors, Bible study, arts and crafts
- Burrito Sales: The Auxiliary prepares and makes burritos, green chili, cabbage pockets, grebbel, and other delicious items for sale at various different times of the year.
The Eben Ezer Auxiliary meets at least four times each year along with gathering to work on projects.
Volunteers
Volunteers create a positive environment for our residents and are a real asset to our community. Even though a volunteer’s job may not be difficult, their efforts bring meaning and growth to the lives of our neighbors. Volunteers are essential to Eben Ezer’s ministry.
There are many jobs that volunteers can do ranging from answering the telephone to visiting someone who is lonely. Volunteers can take a scenic stroll with someone who is wheelchair bound or they can accompany residents on a shopping trip or to a special event. There are many things to do, and volunteers play an important role in getting all these things done and add value to the lives of our residents.
Your efforts can make a big difference in the lives of so many. Please donate your talents and a little bit of effort to make someone who is feeling lonely and forgotten feel important again.
