Junior League of Boca Raton Launches Relief Effort for Bahamas

The Junior League of Boca Raton is accepting donations for Bahamian hurricane victims and items can be dropped off at its headquarters, the Vegso Community Resource Center at 261 N.W. 13th Street. The Junior League is partnering with Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services so donations can also be dropped at Firehouses 1 and 5.  In addition, the Junior League of Boca Raton’s Diaper Bank will donate ten thousand diapers to the relief effort. The donations will be sent to the Bahamas by boat or plane. Donations will be accepted Monday through Friday from 8AM – 5PM.

“Our hearts are with our Bahamian friends who have suffered unimaginable tragedy. We hope members of our community will consider donating their unused hurricane supplies to those so desperately in need,” Cristy Stewart-Harfmann, president of the Junior League of Boca Raton said.

For members of the community that are unable to drop supplies in person, supplies can also be sent directly through Amazon:
