The YMCA Bright Beginning's and the Junior League of Richmond for Fall 2011

YMCA Bright Beginnings is a program designed to provide "back-to-school" clothes and educational supplies for the children involved in League placement. In 2010 the League took 115 children shopping and raised over $20,000 for Bright Beginnings.


The Clothes Rack

It is that time of year when we are all trying to get in shape and get ready for the summer. As you start to shed those pounds and tone-up think about donating your old wardrobe to The Clothes Rack! Please help The Clothes Rack remain the Junior League of Richmond's #1 fundraiser by donating today!

 

 

The YMCA Bright Beginnings and the Junior League of Richmond for Fall 2011

Junior League of Richmond was thrilled to again be a partner organization with YMCA Bright Beginnings. We sponsored Chimborazo Elementary, Fairfield Court Elementary, Southside Child Development Center, and Youth Life Learning Center providing necessary school supplies and clothing for the school year. This was a self-funded program so the number of Richmond youth reached was directly proportional to the contributions received. We greatly appreciate your generous support as we strive to enrich the lives of these deserving children.

Clothes Rack Pickups at GMMs

GREAT NEWS! The Clothes Rack Committee will be at EVERY GMM to collect donations!  Please bring your quota or ANY donations you have to ANY GMM!  This will make it easy for members to make donations and will hopefully increase the amount of donations.  Remember, The Clothes Rack accepts (and needs) more than clothes...so bring your housewares, small enhancements, accessories, decorations, etc. .... and tell your Committees, friends and families!

JLR Committees: Volunteer at The Clothes Rack by Organizing a Donation Drive

With over 100 New Members now actively doing their required shifts, the most valuable way that you as an Active Member can help The Clothes Rack is by participating in a Donation Drive.  This is a great opportunity for your Committee to work together to support The Clothes Rack while earning Resource Development and Personal Choice credits.  Committee Chairs will need to contact Mark Gaddis at mgaddis@jlrichmond.org to discuss the possibility of your group organizing and carrying out a donation drive.  It could be held in someone's neighborhood, church, office, or another location of your choice.  You may decide that you would solicit donations from local retailers, or come up with a totally new idea for Clothes Rack donations.
