About Junior League of Peoria

The Junior League of Peoria is an organization of approximately 325 active and sustaining members. Since 1936, the League has been committed to promoting voluntarism and to improving the Peoria community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

A current focus on increasing food security means bringing weekly and monthly Kids in the Kitchen programs to partner agencies including Dream Center Peoria and Phoenix Community Development Services, as well as ongoing support for a community garden at Glendale Commons. The League also funded the construction of 13 Little Free Pantries located at Peoria Public Schools and continuously provides food items to stick the pantries. As a founding agency, the League also continues to support the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum.

A past emphasis on education included financial support for the Adopt-a-School program at Peoria Public Schools and regular activities with community partners such as Best Buddies, Common Place and Neighborhood House plus continuing education and training for members. Past projects attributed to the League’s dedication to the community include the Peoria Race for the Cure, Family House, Riverfront Playground, JULEP’s Closet, Christmas in April and Keepsacks for Kids.
