Please note - Any toiletry items can be sample or full size.  They do accept toiletry items of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, perfume, etc that have been previously opened or partially used, as long as they are in good condition.  Items from hotel stays are also greatly welcomed.   If you can help out by donating or purchasing any of these items, we greatly appreciate your support!

Warm the Children

Warm The Children is a program whose mission is to provide new warm winter clothing for children of needy families. 

Additional funds for 100 children are going to be released this
week!!!  We are in desperate need of shoppers for this last batch of
the year.  There is one catch... the shopping needs to be completed
before January 31st - that's when WTC books are closed for the
2011-2012 season.

Please let us know if you are willing to shop again, and recruit
friends and family to help as well.

You can email us at warmthechildren@jjwl.org and l

Major Project Announcement

JJWL is excited to partner with The Dahlem Conservancy for our current major project.  With proceeds from our annual Gala event, Dahlem will be able to re-design and upgrade the existing loop trail at the Dahlem Center.  The improvements will assure accessibility and provide educational opportunities for persons with disabilities, families with young children, seniors, and the general population.
