"Holiday Sharing Drive"
Junior League members stand among the more than 1200 boxes donated by members of the community during the 2009 Holiday Sharing Drive. These containers filled with gifts and food, were distributed to 311 in-need families in the northern Westchester area for the holiday season. 

 

"Independent Neighborhood Network (INN)"
Developed to increase meaningful intergenerational interaction at the neighborhood level, INN creates a network for neighbors to get to know each other, and to match talents and resources to individual needs. INN co-chairs Deb Coffino and Tammy Marchini attend the first neighborhood network in Captain Merrits Hill in Mt. Kisco.

 

 
"Project Linus"
JLNW members, Leigh Garten, Katie Casavant, Special Events and Susan Halsey, create blankets for Project Linus, an organization which supplies blankets to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need. Project Linus and their "blanketeers" have hand made and distributed over 3 million blankets to children since 1995.

 

"JLNW Partners with Habitat for Humanity"
Holding a 2x4 beam that will be used in a Somers, NY house built by Habitat for Humanity of Westchester, Kiersten Marich, President, and Kate Hutchings, Community Impact Council Director, present a check from the JLNW to Jim Killoran, General Contractor.
