The Junior League of Bronxville's (JLB) Community

The Junior League of Bronxville's (JLB) Community Outreach Council organized the annual Dorm Drive led by our volunteer captain, Jamie Powell Schwartz. The JLB is proud to support two local nonprofits - Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) and The Guidance Center of Westchester (TGCW). We were thrilled to be part of such a wonderful event. We are so impressed with these young ladies and how hard they have worked throughout their high school career.

We were able to provide the YPIE graduates with luggage and a $300 gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond. In addition, our League presented a $1000 check to YPIE for technology advancements for their students.

The JLB was also able to give 15 graduating scholars from TGCW program a $200 gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond and $100 gift card to be spent at the shopping event hosted by Value Drugs Bronxville. Several JLB members attended and had the opportunity to meet with the girls and help them shop for essentials.

We are so impressed with these young women and we are very proud to help facilitate their transition to college. The JLB wishes them the best of luck!

This morning the JLB Sustainers gathered to complete our "Be Part of the Change" Book Drive, a Building Bridges initiative. The League believes that all children should see themselves in the stories they read.

In January and February we raised $1,500 through a coin drive and online donations. The JLB then voted to match that amount with an additional $1,500 from our Annual Fund, bringing the total to $3,000. Those funds were spent with local business @womrathbooks who procured 257 books that included 89 titles.

Today our Sustainers gathered in the beautiful space provided to us by Sponsor @underhillscrossing to insert JLB stickers into each book. The books were then brought over to our community partner @bundlesofjoyny so they can distribute these to the children they serve.

Another great way to end our year!
