Community Impact
The Junior League of Moore County is a small but mighty league, who strives to meet the needs in our community in three key ways:
ANNUAL EVENTS
These are larger events that require significant planning and coordination. One of our annual events that our members have enjoyed hosting for a number of years is a Holiday Party for children in foster care and their families. This event includes a meal, fun family-friendly activities, and an opportunity for foster children to spend quality time with their families.
DONE IN A DAY (DIAD)
DIAD projects provide our members the opportunity for direct service with our community partners. These hands-on projects support our mission and vision of promoting volunteerism and being positive change agents in our community. Some of our recent DIAD events have included: completing a kitchen and garden makeover at Friend to Friend, partnering with Boys and Girls Club’s SMART Girls mentorship and healthy living program, and packing Backpack Pals and Senior Boxes at the Food Bank.
DONATION DRIVES
We make every effort to meet the expressed needs of our community partners. Our donation drives have included collecting food, menstrual supplies, books, and holiday gifts for children and families of Moore County.
Current Community Partners
FRIEND TO FRIEND
Friend to Friend’s mission is to help survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking rebuild their lives. Friend to Friend is committed to offering prevention, intervention, and holistic recovery services and support for survivors. The non-profit helps survivors of interpersonal violence move from crisis to confidence through collaborative programming, safe shelter, advocacy, life-skill improvement, substance abuse counseling, and more.
NORTH MOORE HIGH SCHOOL
North Moore High School is a Moore County School located in Robbins, NC. NMHS is a Title I Funded school, meaning that children from low-income families make up at least 40% of enrollment. Approximately half of NMHS students receive free or reduced lunch. JLMC works closely with the School Social Worker to meet the needs of these students by stocking the school food pantry and collecting needed items such as menstrual supplies, clothes and shoes.
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (DSS) - FOSTER CARE
The mission of Moore County Social Services is to assist people in overcoming life's challenges and strengthening our community through high-quality social services. Services include emergency assistance, food and nutrition, Medicaid, Work First, daycare, adoption, adult services, foster care, and more. JLMC focuses our efforts on supporting the children in foster care, their families, and the dedicated foster care social workers who tirelessly advocate for their best interests.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
The mission of the Boys and Girls Club of the Sandhills is to inspire, enable and educate young people from all backgrounds and circumstances to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. BGC offers young people a range of fun, productive, and educational activities, from games and athletics to drug prevention workshops. The four local BGC locations provide after-school and summer programs - when research has shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence, and other risky behaviors.
FOOD BANK OF CENTRAL & EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Food insecurity is a reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans who cannot keep food on the table. The Food Bank works every day to nourish people while building solutions to hunger through programming and partnerships, empowering North Carolina communities to thrive. The Sandhills Backpack Pals program provides weekend food during the school year to children experiencing food insecurity. JLMC members volunteer throughout the year to pack Backpack Pals to improve access to food for children in Moore County.
