Help the Junior League of Fort Worth Find the Good

The Junior League of Fort Worth (JLFW) is thrilled to announce our participation in two impactful events on September 19, 2024: North Texas Giving Day and International Find the Good Day. These celebrations highlight our commitment to alleviating diaper need and fostering positive community change.

Support the JLFW Diaper Bank on North Texas Giving Day:

On September 19, we invite the community to support the JLFW Diaper Bank during North Texas Giving Day. Founded in 2020, the Diaper Bank is dedicated to eliminating diaper need and improving the wellbeing of children and adults across Tarrant County. By providing diapers at no cost to local nonprofit partners, we address critical needs for individuals affected by poverty, mobility issues, or health limitations. In partnership with the Tarrant Area Food Bank, we have distributed over 2 million diapers to nearly 100 nonprofit agencies.

Understanding Diaper Need:

Diaper need is a significant public health issue that impacts cleanliness, health, and dignity. With diapers not covered by federal assistance programs like WIC or SNAP and costing families over $150 per month, the need is significant:

• In 2023, 47% of families reported diaper need, a sharp increase from 33% in
• Over 25% of those with diaper need skipped meals to afford more
• One in four parents missed work or school due to insufficient diapers, leading to an average wage loss of $296 per month.

How to Contribute:

• Give with Purpose on September 19! Donate to the Junior League of Fort Worth on NorthTexasGivingDay.org between 6 m. and midnight. Your contribution will help us reach our goal of $5,000.
• Donate Early! If you can’t give on September 19, donate early from September 1 to September 18 at Support JLFW on North Texas Giving Day.

Celebrate International Find the Good Day!

September 19 also marks International Find the Good Day, a global celebration of compassion, community, and positive change. The Junior League of Fort Worth is excited to participate in this special day of unity and compassion, which aims to spread kindness, uplift others, and inspire positive change across Fort Worth and beyond. This day is open to everyone, not just Junior League members.
