Government:
The work of the Auxiliary is directed by a council made up of the wife of the university president, elected officers, a representative from each of the eight MVNU supporting districts of the Church of the Nazarene.

Some examples are handcrafted items, nice wood-crafted items, baked goods, jams, jellies, etc., etc., etc. 100% of the funds raised from the items sold in the Silent Auction & Boutique go toward scholarships given to MVNU students.

Many volunteers are needed to help pack the kits. 100% of the profit from the Survival Kits go toward scholarships given to MVNU students as well. Order your survival kits today!
