Members of the Junior League of Boca Raton made an extra difference in the community during the organization’s 8th annual Week of Impact which took place March 10-14.
Week of Impact projects included preparing baskets for the Supporting NICU Families Project, which provides essentials including diapers and clothing for NICU babies from underserved families. Each month, Boca Raton Regional Hospital identifies qualified recipients based on a needs assessment. The basket is given to the mother anonymously, but often the parents express gratitude to the Junior League for the thoughtful gifts.
Members also cleaned gently worn shoes for In Jacob’s Shoes, a non-profit that provides shoes to the underserved.
Junior League of Boca Raton partnered with Cereal For All to collect 122 boxes of cereal to be distributed to families who otherwise struggle to put food on the table.
During the Week of Impact Junior League of Boca Raton members helped the Education Foundation with their Stocking The Shelves initiative which helps teachers fill their classroom with essential items.
“Thanks to our members, we hope underserved children and families in the community will have a little easier time,” said Nikki Stelzer, president of the Junior League of Boca Raton.
