Last year, the Junior League of Greenwich presented the Community Grant Award to Abilis, Inc. The grant was utilized to launch a new activities program, “Cooking and Crafts” for children with disabilities in the 4th-8th grade level. There is a gap in Saturday morning programming options for children with special needs. Most children have sports and other activities, while children with special needs do not have that opportunity. The Junior League of Greenwich grant enabled Abilis to fill this gap.
The Junior League of Greenwich has been bettering the community for nearly 60 years. It is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained individuals.
