Shereca Heard's JLD GA Gives Day 2024

Since 1934, JLD has been a positive force in DeKalb County.  We have identified and met many needs in the community.  Our legacy includes many well-known non-profits and charitable organizations, such as the Callanwolde Guild, Friends of Fernbank, DeKalb Rape Crisis Center, and International Women's House.  In 1980, we saved the historic Mary Gay House in Decatur from destruction. Renamed in 2022 as "716 West", the home serves as our JLD League headquarters, as well as a beautiful rental facility.

We believe that volunteer service is an essential part of responsible, engaged citizenship.  Our members are trained to create significant and lasting change in the community through effective action and leadership.  We can build a community program from its inception; coordinate an event or other program; and serve other organizations in leadership capacities, including service on boards of directors.

With your support the Junior League of DeKalb can help women & children in need in DeKalb County.
