In the Community

 JLGS is a non-profit organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism and to improving the community through effective action  and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. For nearly 100 years, JLGS has contributed more than $1 million dollars and countless volunteer hours to numerous worthwhile service projects in Western  Massachusetts, including the founding of the Ronald McDonald House and the Springfield Day Nursery (now Square One) . Many of the projects organized, developed, and implemented by the League have gone on to become essential to the lives of people in our community.
