Summit Mayor Ellen Dickson recently met with Colleen Markley, incoming JLS President of the Board of Directors for 2013-2014. Their meeting concluded with a tour of the JLS Thrift Shop, a thriving community-based shop offering quality used clothing and housewares at a reduced cost since 1934.
All the items for sale are donated to the Shop by League members and the local community. The Junior League of Summit has returned over $3,500,000 back to the community in the form of scholarships for local students, grants to local schools and other community not-for-profit agencies, and many other projects with lasting community impact. These funds are raised primarily via the Thrift Shop.
The JLS is gladly accepting donations of new and gently used clothing and shoes for men, women and children, as well as toys and housewares. In particular, over the coming months, we are seeking donations of Halloween costumes for our annual costume sale in the fall.
