Volunteer
Throughout the year, Glen Ellyn Juniors needs volunteers to help us fulfill our service projects, especially our Christmas Baskets Family Sponsorship Program.
Below is our current volunteer opportunities

Christmas Baskets

The Glen Ellyn Junior Woman's Club has been serving the community for almost 75 years, with the annual Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program as its flagship service project. Starting on November 1st, this initiative provides essential items like food, clothing, toiletries, and toys to nearly 150 families and seniors, benefiting almost 700 people each year. Last year, the program also delivered toys to over 220 children. In partnership with local elementary schools, Glenbard West's student council, and the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry, the program collects toys, toiletries, and food for families in need. Each child receives at least one new toy, while families are given both non-perishable and fresh food, as well as daily essentials. The program culminates in a large delivery effort on Saturday, December 13th, when volunteers, including Glen Ellyn Volunteer Firefighters and Junior volunteers, help distribute multiple boxes and bags of goods to the recipient families. Super Thursday, held two days prior to Delivery Day, is a key event for volunteers to help with organizing and preparing items for distribution. Volunteers can drop in anytime between 8 AM and 8 PM, with flexible shifts available. There’s also an option to sign up as an all-day volunteer for those who can dedicate more time.
