Update #3
Is my dress looking familiar yet? Children experiencing hunger or food insecurity are more at risk for various health conditions, including malnutrition. JLB has been helping impact health and nutrition for over 95 years. Our original signature project in 1929 was a children’s nutrition camp in
Robie Creek, providing a nutritious, balanced diet to help children experiencing hunger to refuel, gain weight, and improve their health. Today, we continue to support programs and community partners aimed at nutrition education and accessibility. Please visit my fundraising page to learn more
about JLB and consider donating to help us expand our programming and continue making a meaningful impact in the community.
About Me
From August 19th to August 23rd, I’ll be participating in JLB’s 2nd Little Black Dress Initiative, where I will doll myself up and wear the same black dress for 5 days. Why the black dress? The dress, along with this button, are meant to be an eye catching conversation starter among friends, family, coworkers and community, to bring awareness to Junior League of Boise and our new community impact issue – Hunger and Food Insecurity in the Treasure Valley. We have an exciting opportunity this year, as JLB has been selected as one of the organizations to be featured on the Nonprofit MVP (Mission Vision Purpose) reality show! JL Boise will leverage our existing LBDI activity we completed last year to resolve the second challenge of Nonprofit MVP to move through the rounds, so every woman’s participation is critical to our success!
More Info

Why am I wearing the same dress every day this week? People who are food insecure are often left having to choose between food and other necessities. Wearing the same black dress all week is meant to illustrate their
lack of resources, options, and opportunities. In Idaho, the weekly average dollar amount that food insecure individuals report spending on food is $3.79. It’s simply not enough. The Idaho Food Bank and The Boise Farmers Market
are just a few of the community partners JLB provides volunteers, resources, and support to, as we share in their commitment to providing more accessible, affordable, and nutritious, locally grown food for those in need. In honor of
Giving Tuesday, please visit my fundraising page and consider donating to JLB and our Little Black Dress Initiative.

Next week, I will be wearing the same dress every day Monday - Friday to raise awareness about food insecurity in the Treasure Valley. Currently, there are approximately 220,900 people facing food insecurity in Idaho. JLB has a long history of creating and supporting programs that serve this population. Your support of LBDI enables and empowers our members to continue this service through member training and community engagement efforts.
