JUNIOR FORUMS, INC. PRESENTS “BOXED” An annual state service project Houston, TX, February 23, 2020 –

On February 23, 2020, at the Hilton Post Oak in Houston, Texas, Junior Forums of Texas members will partner with Dress for Success and Christian Community Service Center, to provide assistance to 200 women in the Houston community. The chapters will stuff 100 purses for Dress for Success, which aids women entering the work force, and 100 emergency bags for women in need through Christian Community Service Center.

Each year Junior Forum members meet in February for a state convention or retreat to help raise funds for the host and state organizations. This year’s convention will feature a silent auction and pop-up shops, keynote speaker Karen McCullough, educational sessions and round table discussions. Attendees will also participate in an annual state service project (“BOXED”) that benefits an organization of the host chapter’s choosing.

Junior Forum chapters throughout the state promote volunteerism among women by providing an outlet for them to serve their communities by helping children, families, and senior adults. Currently nine chapters serve the State of Texas including Austin, Baytown, Cypress-Woodlands, Dallas, Georgetown, Houston, Nacogdoches, Pasadena Bay Area, and San Antonio.
