Looking for a mission to support? We’d love for you to be a part of ours! Junior League of Abilene is committed to enhancing the lives of children in our community, a mission we would not be able to achieve without the generosity of our many donors.  With the support we receive from our partners in the community we are able to fund six important projects: CarePack for Kids,  Community Partners, Kids in the Kitchen, PAVE (Providing Assistance and Volunteer Experience), the Homeless Youth Program, and Suds Buds.

Any size gift to the Junior League of Abilene will make an impact on the community, as even just $1.00 can provide a hygiene pack to a student in need as part of the Suds Buds program! While all of our donors have enabled us to help the children of Abilene, we would be remiss if we did not give special thanks to former member, Julia “Judy” Jones Matthews. Matthews’ devotion to the community will be forever remembered through the continuing legacies of the projects, foundations, and causes that she, along with her family’s organization, The Dodge Jones Foundation, so generously supported. Matthews passed away on November 17, 2016, at the age of 97, but her gifts to the community will live on through all of us.

We’re grateful for the support of corporate partners and in-kind sponsors, as well as the generosity of individual donors. Each contribution truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.
