Boca Raton, FL – Members of the Junior League of Boca Raton made an extra difference in the community during the organization’s 8th annual Week of Impact which took place in March.
Week of Impact projects included participating in a Boca Raton Community Garden cleanup. In addition, 431 boxes of cereal were given to the Farmworker Coordinating Council. Members also wrote 766 letters of encouragement to children at Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital. In conjunction with ISupportTheGirls, 11,459 hygiene products and 478 bras were provided to Place of Hope, Women in Distress and the Guatemalan Maya Center.
