Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club
For more than 65 years, the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club has brought women together to strengthen our community through volunteer service, philanthropy, leadership, and friendship.
Our Mission
The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting our community. The money we raise supports local children, high school students, senior citizens, the abused, the ill, the homeless, victims of tragedy and families in need. We are a group of women who are dedicated to helping others not as fortunate in our community.
Our Impact
Last year, the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club donated over $158,00 to support local children, high school students, senior citizens, the abused, the ill, the homeless, victims of tragedy and families in need. Beyond financial contributions, we supported the community through various volunteer efforts such as providing Thanksgiving Day meals to local families, donating holiday presents for families, and supporting the education of incoming kindergarten students at our annual Safety Town school.
