Our annual Best Foot Forward project provides over 140 Title I Elementary School children back-to-school clothing and shoes that would otherwise be unaffordable. As we have heard from school principals for the last four years, this provides invaluable self-confidence and a sense of "worth" to children who might otherwise be deficient in these key developmental categories. The Junior League coordinates with the schools to get permission slips for the outing, supplies a light snack for the children and, through strictly volunteer efforts, provides a "personal shopper" for each child.

Community Baby Shower

JLDB office

More information regarding event date and volunteer opportunities coming soon.

This community event supports women and babies in our community affiliated with Healthy Start and Healthy Families. These programs work to reduce fetal and infant mortality; improve maternal and child health outcomes; and prevent child abuse and neglect. Like a traditional baby shower, at the JLDB Community Baby Shower, moms-to-be are "showered" with gifts and given an opportunity to meet other local mothers.
