Junior League of Lake Charles Partners with SWLA Center for Health Services and Literacy Council of SWLA to celebrate "Find The Good Day"
To celebrate AJLI’s national Find The Good Day, the Junior League of Lake Charles (JLLC) is launching a week-long community diaper drive in partnership with the SWLA Center for Health Services, alongside a weekend of free family activities across the city.
Now in its 92nd year of service, JLLC is inviting Southwest Louisiana residents to create a ripple effect of positivity by supporting local families in need.
Community Diaper Drive (September 14 – 19)
Diaper insecurity affects 1 in 3 families nationwide. To address this urgent local need, JLLC is hosting a city-wide collection for diapers of all sizes.
- Collection Dates: Monday, September 14 – Saturday, September 19
- Drop-Off Location: SWLA Center for Health Services, 2000 Opelousas Street, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Monday-Thursday 8:00AM-5:30PM. Friday 8:00AM-2:00PM. Closed 12PM-1PM daily.
Family Activity Day (Saturday, September 19)
On Saturday, September 19, Junior League members will be out in the community hosting hands-on activities for children and families:
- The Children’s Museum at Port Wonder (9:30 AM – 12:30 PM): JLLC members will lead a fun, interactive activity for museum patrons. (Activity is free with paid museum admission).
- Prien Lake Mall (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): In partnership with the Literacy Council of SWLA, JLLC volunteers will support a free children’s arts and crafts station and distribute free books to young readers.
“Find the Good Day” is an opportunity for individuals, families, and organizations to come together as changemakers and create a ripple effect of positivity throughout our community. It is a day to reflect on the goodness within ourselves and find inspiration in the acts of kindness we've witnessed and participated in throughout the year.
Community members participating in acts of kindness throughout the week are encouraged to share photos on social media by tagging @juniorleagueoflakecharles and using the hashtags #FindTheGoodDay and #JLLC.
