The Junior Woman's Club of Verona

In just the past year, our nearly 60 active members worked with Verona's local government, businesses, schools, and community members on over 20 successful initiatives. Some examples include: Our Bunny Brunch, a proud 30-year tradition, raised nearly $2,500 for Verona's Adopt a Family Program During Verona Fights Hunger Week, now in its 5th year, we collected 1,360 bags of food and raised nearly $2,600. All donations went directly to fighting suburban poverty in our area Our Packs With Purpose drive collected backpacks, filled with school supplies, which were distributed to local children in need We awarded three $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors that live in Verona and will attend an accredited degree-based higher education program We donated $5,000 to the Verona Foundation for Educational Excellence which funds a comprehensive grant program designed to enhance the educational experiences of our local school children We donated $500 to all of the schools in Verona so they could purchase new books for their libraries Our bi-annual tricky tray raised nearly $30,000 that the Juniors will re-invest in the community through our charitable work We couldn't make this kind of an impact without involving our families and our community. The work we do is almost always family friendly, with hours and activities that consider kids, crazy work schedules, and the endless list of commitments that come with both. We also forge strong relationships across our town, which has proven to be a stepping stone for many of our members who then go on to become community leaders. Our club not only fosters our member's individual growth but also helps build the confidence necessary to run successful large-scale events as a team. Join Us
