Since
its beginning in 1953, the Junior League of Lufkin has supported many
important projects and has made a positive impact on countless lives in
Lufkin by addressing the needs of our community. Our project support is
through both direct financial assistance and many thousands of volunteer
hours. The vision of our organization’s members is to enhance the lives of
children and women in our community. We have donated over $1.8 million
dollars to Lufkin, and we look forward to donating more financial assistance
and volunteer hours to enhance the lives of everyone in our community.

Due to the growing number of overweight
children in our community, the Junior League of Lufkin
has revived Camp Get Fit. This year we are also pleased
to announce the addition of AJLI's Kids in the Kitchen.
Kids in the Kitchen is a nation wide initiative aimed at
teaching children how to eat healthy and exercise in
order to take better care of their bodies. Camp Get Fit
is a week long day camp in which children learn how to
prepare healthy meals and snacks, learn ways to stay
active and fit, and learn about nutrition and making
better food choices. The goal of Camp Get Fit is to
educate children on the importance of a healthy
lifestyle while maintaining a fun and friendly
atmosphere. This year the JLL is proud to announce our
partnership with Brookshire Brothers and local chef
Sarah Stevens. Click here
