Make Friends and Make a Difference with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills

Women

interested in making a difference in their communities, meeting new friends and

having fun are invited to attend an informational coffee with the Junior League

of the Oranges

and Short Hills (JLOSH).





 





The

organization, which has served the community for 100 years, brings together

volunteers to tackle critical needs of women and children in our area.  Recent JLOSH projects include a day of

service when over 100 volunteers worked with 13 community groups to complete

service projects, making over Isaiah House, a young women’s shelter in East Orange, hosting an

Information Fair for teenagers who are aging out of the foster care system,

conducting book drives and assembling and donating Thanksgiving meal baskets.
