Why is the Little Black Dress Initiative Important?

For over 100 years, the Junior League of Birmingham has been a positive force for change in Jefferson and Shelby County. The JLB’s approximately 2,000 trained volunteers collectively donate more than 40,000 hours of direct community service in Birmingham each year. The JLB’s 24 community projects address some of Birmingham’s most critical issues, including food insecurity, health education to the at-risk community, life skills for families in transition, and literacy.

The goal of this year's Little Black Dress Initiative is to initiate conversations about economic hardship, raise awareness of the Junior League’s impact, and encourage donations to support the following initiatives in our Overcoming Poverty & Financial Instability Impact Area:

  • Community Food Bank of Central Alabama: Mobile Food Pantry
  • Grace Klein Community: Food Delivery and Assistance
  • ¡HICA!: ESL Classes for Hispanic Applicants for Naturalization
  • Vineyard Family Services: Backpack Buddies
  • Junior League of Birmingham: Period Products
  • Junior League of Birmingham: Essentials Pantry

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting our community endeavors to bring about positive change in the lives of those around us!
