- JA Stuff that Bus - NEW 2008 Backpacks & school supplies are
collected and then are distributed to school counselors who hand out the backpacks to families in need.
- JA Coat Drive / Keeping Kids Warm - Each year the Junior Auxiliary sponsors a coat
drive for children in need. A box is set up at local dry cleaners and at each school in the county where students deliver
coats that they have out grown or that they no longer have any use for. These coats are then taken to local dry cleaners
that graciously dry clean them for no charge. The guidance counselors then inform a local J.A. member about children
who might benefit from this drive, giving the member the size and gender of the child. If no coat is available, then
we will purchase one for the child. A coat is then delivered to the school for the child. Last year we gave away
over 200 coats. This year we are off to a good start with 75 people already benefiting from our drive.
- JA Suitcase Drive - The Junior Auxiliary sponsors a suitcase
drive for foster children in need. Last year we gave away over 100 suitcase.
- JA Book Spring Fling - NEW 2009
- JA Child Welfare - Junior Auxiliarys primary consideration is to the children in
our county. The Child Welfare project focuses on a family with children that may need physical, emotional or financial
support. The members are able to help in many ways. We cook meals, tutor a child if needed, deliver baskets with
household items, and are there for the family if any need arises. Both the family and the members of Junior Auxiliary
benefit from this worthwhile project.
- JA Motivating Young Minds - NEW 2008-09
- JA Community Chest - This is a project designed to help all ranges
of people in the community. JA gives out gift baskets to older people of our community on a fixed income. We gather
household items from the club monthly. We take this basket to the Summit Apartments, nursng homes & assisted living in
Lewisburg. Starting in 2007 JA is also giving out gift baskets of children books to head start daycares, preschool &
place with children. (In the past these projects were called Timeless Treasures & Head Start Reading Program. They
were joined together in 2007)
