For countless mothers, having enough diapers is a constant struggle. Without diapers, children cannot attend daycare, which may prevent parents from making an income. Diapers are not funded by WIC and SNAP programs, and without this financial assistance, babies are left in their diapers longer, leading to severe diaper rash that could lead to other medical problems. The Junior League of Charleston Diaper Bank was developed to fill the gap of this overlooked need in the community.
Since its inception in 1923, JLC has raised and awarded millions of dollars to meet local needs in areas ranging from education to child abuse to feeding the homeless. In the past decade alone, the League has trained 2,500 community service volunteers.
Called the Bible of all Junior League cookbooks, Charleston Receipts features recipes that have served Charleston hostesses well for decades and is considered a "must" in any cookbook collection.

The recipes were influenced by the family cooks, many of whom spoke the Gullah dialect, a centuries-old Atlantic Creole language that is illustrated and preserved throughout the pages of Charleston Receipts. For its outstanding preservation of local and regional culinary customs and its benefits to the local community, Charleston Receipts was inducted into the Walter S. McIlhenny Community Cookbooks Hall of Fame in 1990.

Together we are Better?
Can 1 Little Black Dress worn for 5 short days create awareness about issues that affect others for a lifetime? We hope so! Little Black Dress Initiative is a week long awareness and fundraising campaign that harnesses the power of networking and social media to illustrate limitations on choices, opportunities and access to resources many women and families face. We are wearing the same dress 5 days this month in an effort to spark conversation, increase awareness, and raise funds to meet the needs of our community now and into the future.
