The Lake of the Woods Auxiliary was formed in 1996. Located just a few miles from the Alice C. Tyler Village, volunteer efforts are unique in that this chapter provides direct, personal support for the children residing at the Village. Besides cooperation with other volunteer groups to help make the Village’s holiday parties a success, the Auxiliary participates in special enrichment programs for individual children on a one-to-one basis, including Birthday Baskets, a Library Program, and the Special Friends initiative.

Lake of the Woods Auxiliary makes a substantial and extraordinary impact in the lives of neglected and abused children throughout Virginia. But they don’t do it alone; it takes a village.
