Dear Friend,

Because of supporters like you, the Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk continues to make a powerful difference in the lives of women, children, and families across Fairfield County. Your generosity fuels our mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and improve our communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

For more than a century, JLSN has partnered with local organizations to create meaningful, lasting change. Across Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Wilton, Ridgefield, Westport, and Weston, our volunteers dedicate their time and talents to address real community needs—from improving housing and supporting cancer patients to empowering young women and families.

This past year, your support helped us:

Renovate Inspirica’s infant room with over 50 volunteer hours and $2,000 in furnishings and supplies, and continue support for Pacific House through garden maintenance and essentials for the garden JLSN planted the previous year.
Partner with One Tough Cookie to pack and deliver more than 200 care bags and support fundraising events benefiting cancer patients at Stamford and Norwalk Hospitals.
Provide backpacks, holiday gifts, and meals for local families through partnerships with Family Centers, Odyssey Family Executive Center, and Inspirica.
Partner with Toquam Magnet Elementary School to volunteer at a five day Scholastic Book Fair and donate $100 in book funds so every student could take home a book.
Engage 60 volunteers across more than 10 community organizations, including LiveGirl, Malta House, and the Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, contributing time, resources, and leadership to strengthen Fairfield County.

As we enter our next century of service, we invite you to join us once again in supporting JLSN’s Annual Appeal. Your contribution directly sustains programs like these and invests in the women who make them possible.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue this vital work. Together, we can ensure that our community—and the next generation of women leaders—continues to thrive.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Jen Metsker
President, 2025–2026
