Community Projects


Done in a Day


When non-profit agencies are limited in achieving their goals because of lack of manpower, this program provides a dedicated group of Junior League volunteers to work on a number of unrelated, short-term community projects. This committee is always looking for new ways to roll up their sleeves and get meaningful projects done…in a day! Find out more…


Lego Motion


This new project involves the collaborative effort of both JLLC members and the McNeese State University’s Autism Program.  It assists children with autism to learn social skills through supervised play with LEGO materials.


That's My Bag


League members purchase, organize, and distribute personal care packages for children recently removed from their homes or newly placed in foster care.  The children remain nameless and faceless to the JLLC, but hold a special place in our hearts.


Junior Leagues’ Kids in the Kitchen


JLLC members strive to combat childhood obesity by empowering children to make healthy, nutritional choices. We have been taking part in this international initiative by “cookin’ up some fun” during interactive sessions with local school kids and groups.


Life Lessons 101


This enrichment program is designed for students in 3rd-5th grade. It keeps learning fun for these students by offering activities such as yoga, painting, gardening, healthy cooking, and money management.


HELPing Hands


League members provide an extra set of hands at Moss Regional Hospital by reading to patients, providing books for them to take home, and distributing dental kits. In addition, 450 tigers provided by the JLLC were passed out to children after surgery.


Liberty Belles


This is the League’s longest running community project. Members visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities a couple of times a year to sing and bring joy to residents.
