This month we are happy to highlight The Junior League of Greenville, Inc. (JLG). Plus Incorporated partners with the Junior League in handling their copier and also sponsors an ad in their VISIONS magazine. The Junior League of Greenville, Inc. is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose isexclusively educational and charitable. The Junior League of Greenville initiates and participates in programs and partnerships that enhance the physical, emotional and educational well-being of children and families. They are committed to building a safe, healthy, nurturing community. The JLG reaches out to women of all races, religions and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism.
Other than generous donations and help from the community, the JLG uses its upscale resale store, The Nearly New Shop, to help provide funds that support the many programs and projects of the Junior League of Greenville, Inc. It also helps provide an outlet for the community to purchase fabulous clothing and household goods at nominal prices; as well as to serve as a training ground for their members. The Nearly New Shop "staff" is comprised of several paid employees, as well as JLG members who donate their time. It serves almost 2,000 customers per month-that is over 20,000 per year!
Donations to The Nearly New Shop provide the store's inventory
and, ultimately, allow the JLG to continue giving back to our community. The shop accepts donations of new or gently used clothing, jewelry, shoes, linens, children's toys, seasonal items, luggage, books, furniture and small appliances.
Drop off your donations at 118 Greenacre Road, Greenville 29607, from 10am until 5pm, Monday-Saturday.
