🥾🧦 Small feet. Big community heart. 💙

On November 1, Soroptimist International of La Grande’s Boots & Socks committee sorted, organized, and packaged 444 pairs of child- and youth-sized boots, along with socks. These will help keep 444 children and youth right here in Union County warm all winter!

A heartfelt thank-you to committee chair Keisha Anderson for her hard work and organizational skills, and to our dedicated committee members for bringing it all together.

To our generous sponsors and supportive community: YOU help make this project possible. Thank you for helping local children step into winter with warm feet! 💙

UpliftHER Initiative
Once a quarter, we focus on an obstacle that women and girls face on their path to formal education and economic empowerment. SILG will share information about the obstacle and our projects to bring awareness.
For October-December this year we will be focusing on projects that increase access to education for women or girls who have experienced intimate partner violence.
Intimate partner violence is devastatingly common for women and girls around the globe.
• Nearly 1 in 3 women will experience it during their lifetime according to the World Health Organization.
• Financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases where abusers control or sabotage their partner’s financial resources.
• When women and girls are educated, they have the skills to command decent wages and the resources to escape unsafe relationships sooner.

Soroptimist International of the Americas Northwestern Region proudly honors Dolly Parton for her extraordinary commitment to education, literacy, and creating brighter futures for children.

Through her beloved Imagination Library and a lifetime of generosity, Dolly has shown us that a simple book can open a world of possibility. Her belief in the power of education reflects a value Soroptimists hold close to our hearts: when we give people the tools to learn, dream, and grow, we help change lives for generations.

Thank you, Dolly, for proving that kindness, determination, and a whole lot of sparkle can make the world a better place. 💗📚✨
