Our Community Impact Projects
Dignity for All
This project advocates and educates the River Valley community on the topic of period poverty and seeks to provide resources to impoverished individuals to meet their period poverty needs.
Each month, we work to provide bags with necessary menstrual products by restocking blessing boxes throughout the River Valley area. We are also consistently working towards collaborating with local organizations to gain monthly supplies or donations.

If you would like to work together on a donation drive please feel free to reach out via email at DignityforallJLFS.com. If you would like to donate supplies please shop our Amazon wishlist.
Impact In A Day
This project aims to address childhood poverty in Fort Smith by establishing a dynamic and responsive community impact group within the River Valley. This initiative seeks to make a meaningful impact and immediate difference in the lives of children facing poverty though strategic volunteer efforts.
We foster partnerships with local organizations and other non-profits such as Antioch Food Pantry, Earthbound Angels, River Valley Food Bank, Crisis Center for Women, Habitat for Humanity, Literacy Council, Monarch 61 and many more. Through these volunteer opportunities, we are able to share skills and resources of the Junior League members to support existing programs that focus on childhood poverty prevention within the River Valley community.
​
If you or your organization is interested in creating a partnership with our Impact In A Day team please feel free to reach out to us.
Advocacy
Our exciting new project added in this year is focused on building community connections to help achieve the goals of Junior League of Fort Smith. The Junior League of Fort Smith’s Advocates will be tasked with staying knowledgeable about issues related to our focus, coordinating league civic engagement with local government, and bringing issues to the Board and membership,. A long term goal for this committee includes working with other leagues to develop a statewide collaborative network of Junior League advocacy called a SPAC -State Public Affairs Committee.
