✨ Find the Good Day Spotlight ✨

Lee Ritscher, Co-Chair of our Impact Committee, delivered backpacks and hygiene kits to women at local shelters in partnership with Community Human Services.

These kits were made possible by the generosity of our Junior League members, who donated supplies and dedicated their time to assembling them. Together, we continue to live out our mission—finding the good in our members, our community, and in serving others. 💙
