Welcome to the Newnan Junior Service League!

The Newnan Junior Service League (NJSL) is an organization like no other. It's an organization made up of women who are committed to making Newnan a better community for all that live there. Their passion for volunteerism is like no other organization.

As you discover the NJSL website, you will learn about the different community areas in which league members volunteer their time, finances, and heart. You will also find out more about NJSL fundraisers that directly benefit our community. There are special pages for our members and sustainers. We also have a page for our newest members, our provisionals. If you yourself are interested in becoming a league member, check the requirements page.

As summer comes to a close and a new school session begins, we ask that you take a look around to your community and think of where you could make a difference. Each person can contribute to our ever growing city. We challenge you to do so!

Headlines!

The Rummage Sale was a great success! Thanks for all of your help.

Christmas in Newnan was a huge success! NJSL helped 17 families (68 kids) by providing toys, books, and clothes for each child as well as canned goods and turkey vouchers.  We were also able to give $300 to the elderly in Coweta county.

Can-A-Thon raised over 317,000 cans of food this year!  Thanks goes out to all league members who helped smash our goal!  We also received over $31,000 in donations for One Roof.   Thank you to the donors and schools involved!
