Junior League of Greenwich Donates 300 Sandwiches to Local Children in Need

Junior League of Greenwich Volunteers Donate 300 Sandwiches for Local Children in Need and Seeks Women of All Ages and Backgrounds to Join Their Organization!

The Junior League of Greenwich (JLG) proudly made and delivered 300 sandwiches for children in after-school programs at the Boys & Girls Club, Kids in Crisis, and Barbara’s House. This initiative ensured that children in these programs received proper nutrition while focusing on their studies and activities.

This effort was made possible thanks to generous donations from Neri’s Bakery, which provided the buns, and Acme Markets, which contributed meat and cheese. The JLG also relies on its 500 dedicated volunteers, who contribute to projects ranging from single-day events to long-term initiatives that leave a lasting impact. Notable projects include:

  • The Greenwich Pool at Byram Park, a community resource for families to enjoy.
  • The Playground at Bruce Park, offering children a safe and fun place to play.
  • The Children’s Day School, supporting early childhood education.
  • Kids in Crisis, providing critical services to children in need.
  • And many more!

The JLG is also known for its popular community events, such as The Enchanted Forest, held this past November, and Touch-A-Truck, coming this May.

Now is the perfect time to become a member of the Junior League of Greenwich! A two-evening New Member Class begins on January 22, providing women with a quick introduction to the organization and preparing them to join a committee and make an immediate impact. For those with different schedules, a two-day morning session will also be offered in February.

“We’re excited to offer both morning and evening classes to make it easier for women with different schedules to join us,” said JLG President Stacey Higdon. “Our training and volunteer opportunities help women who’ve recently retired, stepped away from work to raise children, or are looking for new ways to give back, use their skills to make a real impact. It’s also a great way to keep your resume and skills up to date while staying active and connected in the community.

Becoming a member is simple: complete the onboarding process in just two days, then dive into exciting opportunities to contribute to the community. Membership also includes access to free training sessions, engaging social events, and meaningful volunteer experiences.
