Monica’s and Maggie’s House
Members volunteer their time to provide support to Monica’s and Maggie’s House during their annual Christmas party.
Monica’s house was created to advocate for and serve child victims of abuse through prevention, intervention, and treatment.
JLBrownsville provides meals for the families attending this event. Members assist in serving those meals and also handing out gifts to the children who attend.

Easter Baskets
Annually, members come together to assemble 750 Easter baskets to donate to a number of local non-profit organizations that distribute them to economically disadvantaged children in our community.
