Members of the Junior League of Boca Raton made an extra difference in the community during the organization’s 9th annual Week of Impact which took place March 9-14. Members donated 74 extra hours of volunteer work. During the Week of Impact, Junior League of Boca Raton members packed over 14,000 period supplies for underserved girls, made 250 sandwiches for the Farm Workers Council’s after school and spring break programs, and read to 175 kids in eight classrooms as part of the Junior League Raising Readers program.
In addition, during the Week of Impact, Junior League of Boca Raton members volunteered in the HAB Center’s nursery, organized donated clothing and supplies, and delivered them to the Child Rescue Coalition and packed boxes of food for underserved kids to take home in order to have food for the weekend at Boca Helping Hands.
“Thanks to our members who went above and beyond the normal number of hours we donate each week to the community,” said Victoria Matthews, president of the Junior League of Boca Raton. “League members volunteer regularly, but during the Week of Impact, they give even more time to make an even bigger difference.”
