The Cecil County Ladies Auxiliary (CCLA) is a non-profit volunteer organization of dedicated Cecil County auxiliary members who fundraise and serve the community for the benefit of the Cecil County local fire companies. The CCLA is comprised of five auxiliaries who meet monthly for meetings and are governed by the by-laws. Although the auxiliaries are under the Cecil County Firemen’s Association, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Maryland State Firemen’s Association we have the autonomy to hold a variety of events. Cecil County Ladies Auxiliaries raise thousands of dollars for their fire companies and often provide onsite food and beverages during a fire incident.  Most of the money is raised with food concessions at events such as bingo, raffles, antique shows, craft shows, carnivals, sub sales, banquets, and funeral gatherings.Â
Membership in the five active auxiliaries is a great service to our community, provides you with a sense of belonging, and an opportunity to share your skills. After a number of years of service, members may qualify for the Maryland Income Tax Subtraction Modification Program. This program provides a savings to the auxiliary member when filing their annual income tax based on a point system for volunteer hours served.
