Our Projects

Loved Twice
Loved Twice is the JLOEB's new community partner!  Loved Twice clothes newborns from low-income families with gently used baby clothing for their first year of life. Community volunteers collect baby clothing, sort these precious garments into boy and girl wardrobes-in-a-box, and distribute the boxes through licensed social workers in hospitals, shelters and clinics. Each baby receives approximately 75 items, including newborn onesies, sleepers, hats, booties, books and a soft warm blanket. More...

The activities most sought are those directly supporting the JLOEB mission of helping families achieve self-sufficiency.  More...

Junior Leagues' Kids in the Kitchen
Together with the Association of Junior Leagues International Inc. (AJLI), and more than 225 sister Leagues in four countries, the JLOEB is participating in an exciting new initiative for National Volunteer Week called Junior Leagues' Kids in the Kitchen. The League-wide initiative, supported by the ADA, USDA and Bon Appetit magazine, is designed to create an impact in our communities around issues of growing importance - childhood obesity and poor nutrition.

Community Enrichment Fund Grants
We recognize community needs come in all shapes and sizes. While a significant amount of our community impact is realized through the League's volunteer and leadership efforts, we have also been fortunate enough to recognize some community needs through the funding of Community Enrichment Fund (CEF) grants. These grants are awarded in areas where a financial gift is determined to be of vastly greater benefit to the agency or organization than traditional volunteer support. More...
