Photograph of Mt. Sinai Hospital Auxiliary workers at a cart with children's clothes hanging from it. The purpose of the Auxiliary was to promote the work of Mt. Sinai Hospital through volunteer service, fundraising and public relations. As with other Jewish women's organizations, the Auxiliary offered both service and leadership opportunities for women at a time when women had few management opportunities. With the hospital's closing in the early 1980s, the Auxiliary recreated itself as a foundation, and continues to fund projects in the Jewish community and at large.
