Community Projects
The Junior League of Bell County is dedicated to improving our community through issue based, volunteer centered community projects.
Community Engagement
Community Engagement has taken on a new role this year in exclusively partnering with non-profits in our area. We will be assisting the Ronald McDonald House of Temple for the 2023-2024 League Year. With this exclusive partnership, we are able to offer grants and trained volunteers to aid in their projects within the community. For any interested non-profits that are in need of volunteers, please contact: communityengagement@jlbellco.org.
Bell County Adoption Day
The Junior League of Bell County works with the Bell County Paralegal Association putting on a special event for National Adoption Day. Our Members ensure that the children going through Child Protective Services (CPS) have a memorable day as they gain their forever families. Contact join@jlbellco.org with questions.
Lorenzo’s Christmas Wish List- McLane’s Children’s Hospital
For the last several years, the Junior League of Bell County has contributed items to fulfill Lorenzo’s Christmas Wish List through McLane’s Children’s Hospital in Temple, Texas. Through fundraising and donations from our community we are able to donate much needed items for the children and their families.
Ronald Mcdonald room partnership
The Junior League of Bell County partnered with the Ronald McDonald House during the 2023-2024 league year. Members volunteered at various events, participated in a toy donation & fully renovated two rooms at the Temple location.
