Hollydays Fundraiser a Huge Success! The Junior League of Louisville hosted over 50 regional and national artisans at the Hollydays Art & Gift Market the first weekend of December. 100% of the proceeds raised by JLL at Hollydays are returned to the community through JLL projects focused on improving the lives of women and children, so we appreciate everyone who came out to shop and help our community!

Our History
Founded in 1921, the Junior League of Louisville is committed to building a better community. Read about some of our past accomplishments in the History section.
The JLL's Kids in the Kitchen initiative was featured in an article in the Courier-Journal. Click here to read the article. Also please check out all the Kids in the Kitchen activities planned for the 2009-2010 year.
JLL supports the Blessings in a Backpack program, which provides six meals to school children on weekends - three meals each day, Saturday and Sunday. Approximately 60% of students in Louisville public schools are on the Federally-funded Free or Reduced Meal Program at their school, but often go hungry on the weekends. Blessings in a Backpack fills that void and has demonstrated dramatic learning and behavioral improvements. Learn more about the program here.
