For 50 years, we have been The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club.  We have always been the same women; we are Juniors - we care, we help, we impact.

We Care…
…about our community and its future. We care about education, the safety of our children, our town, the parks and the people.

We Help…
…the community where we see fit, “Living each day trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist.”

We Impact…
…the lives of many around us. Just in 2008-2009, our impact has been felt by:

  • Every person who walks through the doors of Walk-in Ministry of Hope
  • Every military person who received one of our cards
  • The wallets of 8 DG seniors and their families
  • 230 seniors who’s Easter was brightened by one of our Easter baskets
  • The 43 7th & 8th graders who now know how to take care of our youth as babysitters
  • 75 children who will have a birthday party with one of the birthday boxes we put together this year
  • Every family that goes through the Hope Hospital Heart wing

We are the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club. This past year has been no different than the previous 49, and I know in the next 50 years our friends and daughters will continue this great tradition - to be women who care, help and impact our community. 

Each flower in our pot represents an activity, event or charitable donation the club has particiapted in to help others in the our community during the 2009-2010 club year which started last May.
