The New England Women's Auxiliary Association encourages women to assist in the efforts of the United States Sanitary Commission. Describing the organization, the Commission states, "It gives its aid whenever and wherever it is most needed ... following in the steps of the Government- as a woman may often in those of a man- alleviating where it cannot prevent; working in season and out of season, for humanity's and mercy's sake." Appeals to the women of New England to donate "money, clothes, socks, yarn, feather, or other available materials" for use by soldiers.
