2024 – Division 1: Clean Clothes Today, for a Successful Tomorrow

Junior League of Douglas County

The Junior League of Douglas County’s “Clean Clothes Today, for a Successful Tomorrow” shows us how collaborating with community stakeholders can go a long way to enhance your impact, especially when you are a small League. At the center of this initiative was collaboration – The Junior League of Douglas County worked with school ambassadors and counselors, the juvenile justice system, the homeless coalition and local laundromat owners and staff to make their free laundry day for residents happen. While the League traditionally focuses on literacy among children, they found there was a connection between families being unable to wash soiled clothes and children’s school absences, which affects their learning/literacy. The Junior League of Douglas County, GA raised over $5,000 offer a FREE Laundry Day to 100 community families, helping them wash nearly 750 loads of clothes over the course of three months.

Congratulations to the Junior League of Douglas County, GA!  

Award Recipients in Division 1 have 14-50 Actives + Provisionals.
