Junior League of Bronxville's Fourth Annual Dorm Room Drive

The Junior League of Bronxville has partnered with Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) and Mount Vernon’s The Guidance Center of Westchester (TGCW) to support incoming freshman women as they embark on their college careers! For the fourth year in a row, our Community Events committee is teaming up with YPIE and TGCW for the JLB Dorm Room Drive. We will be collecting donations of dorm room beddings, linens, towels and other essentials for 25 young women from these two college preparatory program. The drive is in full swing and ends on May 9th. Donations can be made online at our registry with Bed, Bath and Beyond or Target using the links below:

The selected young women from YPIE and The Guidance Center are from low-income communities, many of whom will be the first generation to attend college. The Dorm Drive culminates with a “shopping event” and gathering for the graduating seniors. At the event, the young women will be able to shop and select the items collected for their dorm rooms for the coming fall semester. After shopping, there will be a gathering to celebrate the girls’ success and future. Please join us in donating items on the registry, a simple process set up to accommodate any level of donation.

On the site we have all dorm room items, including gift cards in various amounts; $200 being the total amount needed to sponsor one girl. Please note that all monies collected from the gift cards will go directly to purchasing items off the registry. For more information, email info@jlbronxville.org or visit our website at www.jlbronxville.org.
