The Junior League of Champaign-Urbana (JLCU) is now accepting applications from area non-profit organizations for projects that can be "done in a day".  These are short-term projects that are to be completed between September 1 - December 31, 2007. Organizations with projects that emphasize senior citizens, women's issues, family welfare, children, or people with disabilities, or development of the arts are encouraged to apply.

Some examples of past projects include: organizing a carnival for Carle Hospice's Camp Healing Heart; providing volunteer workers at the Orpheum Children's Museumís Kid's Building Fair, decorating a visitors' room at the Swann Special Care Center; designing and planting a small butterfly garden at the Urban League Day Care; providing volunteers to transport cancer patients to and from treatments for the American Cancer Society.

We also organize Done In A Meeting ( D.I.A.M. ) collections.  A D.I.A.M gives our membership an opportunity to donate items to organizations in need.  Examples of past collections include:  collecting emergency clothing for the Champaign-Urbana public school, mittens and hats for Head Start,  personal hygiene items for Coalition for Community Kids in Care, and used cell phones on behalf of Special Olympics.

*Please be advised that JLCU cannot assist in fundraising for outside organizations.
