Since its inception in 1926, The Junior League of Montgomery has awarded millions of dollars to various nonprofit organizations in Montgomery. The Junior League is unique as each financial award includes volunteer service hours.

This League year, we are honored to work with the following community partners:

T.S. Morris Elementary School

Junior League of Montgomery volunteers will be updating T.S. Morris Elementary School’s library to make it a more engaging and collaborative environment for the students. This JLM committee will be designing the new space, cleaning and sanitizing the library, placing new furniture, painting, etc. 

Mental Health America in Montgomery

Operation Santa Claus provides holiday gifts, socks, and food for members of the community who suffer from serious mental illness and otherwise would not receive gifts during the holiday season. This JLM committee will collaborate with staff in all aspects of planning and implementation including securing wish lists, shopping for and wrapping gifts, and planning and hosting a holiday party for recipients.

Meals On Wheels

Junior League of Montgomery volunteers will prepare, package, and label 400 meals each month that will be distributed to senior citizens in the Montgomery area.

MANE – Montgomery Area Non-Traditional Equestrians

JLM volunteers will assist with therapeutic riding lessons for twenty school children receiving therapy. JLM members will serve as “side-walkers” alongside riders, ensuring safety and engagement during sessions. Volunteers will also assist with office duties, capture photos and videos for marketing use, manage student groups, and other responsibilities during sessions. 

Brantwood Children’s Home

JLM members will host Project Angel Friends, which provides encouragement and life skills to the residents of Brantwood. Volunteers will shop for back-to-school supplies and clothing and host a back-to-school party. Volunteers will also provide meaningful guidance and mentorship to the at-risk residents.

SUM! Unlimited, Inc.

The SUM! Everyday Essentials project assesses hygiene poverty in Montgomery’s low-income elderly and disadvantaged. Bags are distributed with paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, dish cloths and personal care supplies. This allows recipients to have more money to purchase food, medications, rent and utilities. JLM committee members will shop for supplies and prep/pack bags for distribution. 

Young Life Montgomery Urban

This project entails revamping a common meeting space to welcoming environment where children will be receiving mentorship and collaborating with peers. JLM members will be involved in all phases of this project – painting, building a stage, choosing artwork, etc. This space will be to enhance the children’s overall well-being and offers a stable and nurturing environment to develop essential life skills. Young Life targets low-income youth, children with behavioral challenges and at-risk youth.
