Serving Our Community
Service is at the heart of everything we do. The Junior Welfare League is honored to partner with a variety of local organizations that are making a direct impact in York County. From volunteering with schools, food banks, and shelters to supporting nonprofits focused on women’s and children’s health, education, and basic needs, our members show up where help is needed most. These partnerships allow us to extend our reach, respond to real-time community needs, and create meaningful, lasting change—together.
Check here for information on group and individual service opportunities. If you have questions or need assistance with anything service related, please reach out to jwlyc.service@gmail.com.
