Community Impact

The Junior League of Collin County (JLCC) provides volunteers and funding to area nonprofit agencies for the benefit and enrichment of the Collin County community and the development and education of our League volunteers.

Each year, JLCC invests thousands of volunteer hours to community agencies and programs. This year, nearly 1,000 League members will provide more than 15,000 volunteer hours to the League’s projects and programs.

In addition to the volunteer service that League members contribute to our community, JLCC has provided millions of dollars over the years to fund programs and agencies that improve the overall well-being of our community.

Done in a Day Projects

Done In A Day projects provide quick-response or short-term project support for Collin County communities. JLCC provides volunteer support for community projects that can be accomplished in a one-time evening or weekend effort. When nonprofit agencies are limited in achieving their goals because of lack of volunteers, this program provides a dedicated group of JLCC volunteers to work on short-term projects. All projects meet a community need in Collin County. For more information or to apply email diad@jlcollincounty.org

Women Helping Women

Did you know feminine hygiene products are one of the most requested items in shelters across Collin County? Did you know most schools do not keep a supply of products on hand for students in need? Did you know in Texas, feminine hygiene products and diapers are classified as luxury items; therefore, taxed as luxury goods and cannot be purchased with food stamps or any other form of federal or state assistance? Each year, JLCC members collect and distribute thousands of feminine hygiene products and diapers to local non profits and schools.
