On Saturday September 24th the Junior League of Long Island in partnership with Allied Foundation handed out over 9,200 diapers for families on Long Island! As an organization we exceeded our original goal of 2,000 diapers all thanks to our amazing volunteers, partners, Thrift Shop and community. It was an honor to support families who struggle to afford a sufficient supply of diapers and to bring awareness to diaper need across Long Island. We want to thank Allied Foundation's Executive Director Heather Edwards for all her hard work in promoting diaper insecurity and for partnering with The Junior League of Long Island for such a worthy cause.

Beloved Junior League member Alicia Aguilera passed away on March 26, 2021. She was an important and special part of our organization and she is deeply missed. The outpouring of generosity in memory of Alicia was overwhelming. The League received over 300 gifts totaling more than $26,000 in memory of Alicia, a testament to how many lives she touched and the incredible impact she made. Donations in her honor will help JLLI continue her legacy of volunteerism and community service on Long Island through a room dedicated in her honor and loving memory at the Ronald McDonald House!
On September 29th, member's Cindy Dwyer, Donna Fiore, Remi Farnan, and Christina Ho along with Alicia's family were able to view the now opened room.
We look forward to hosting an event in this room in the Spring of the League year and for helping children in our community for years to come here in her memory!

In partnership with many other volunteers across Long Island, Junior League Members Lisa Johnson and Remi Farnan helped the American Heart Association of Long Island set up their annual Heart Walk held at Jones Beach. We helped out with event set up throughout the park laying out the walking path, setting up booths tables, signage and Hydration Stations. The Heart Walk is attended by thousands of Long Islanders annually to raise support efforts to help expand access, funding and knowledge around cardiovascular diseases and healthier lifestyles.
