IN THE COMMUNITY
Jack and Jill of America, Inc. - Austin Chapter children are assembled into age/grade groups (Tots, Yearlings, Vogues & Esquires, Betwixt & Between and Kings & Queens). Throughout our program year, members and their families participate in learning and service activities in support of the Austin Community.
Operation Turkey
On Thanksgiving morning, JJOA families of all ages came together at Juliet Italian Kitchen to support Operation Turkey, a 100% volunteer-led initiative ensuring everyone receives a warm meal on Thanksgiving Day.
Alongside over 50,000 volunteers nationwide, we joined in this heartfelt mission, spreading love and gratitude to our community. It was a wonderful opportunity to serve together as a family and make the holiday brighter for others.
Sickle Cell Awareness
Our teens brought holiday magic to the Marc Thomas Sickle Cell Pajama Breakfast. From serving breakfast and passing out toys to leading fun activities like ornament decorating, their efforts brought smiles and joy to the children in attendance.
Keep Austin Beautiful
Our chapter recently came together for a rewarding day with Keep Austin Beautiful! Volunteers donned closed-toe shoes, gardening gloves, and sun protection for various cleanup activities around the creek and rec center area. Equipped with tools and supplies, members tackled litter and helped beautify the space, showing a strong commitment to our local environment. It was a wonderful day of teamwork and community impact as we worked to keep Austin looking its best!
