Why Donate to JLS?
Over its nearly 70-year history the JLS has researched community needs and created programs and projects that addressed those needs. From literacy programs to youth shelters, back-to-school events and dozens of Done-in-a-Day projects, the League has been at the forefront of improving the lives of Sarasota residents. Today League members are volunteering countless hours on a multi-year aging out of foster care initiative. Your support helps continue that important work in Sarasota County!
