SMITHFIELD — On Thursday, Jan. 16, the Junior Women’s League (JWL) of Smithfield presented a check to My Kid’s Club for $10,000.
The funds were raised at JWL’s 4th annual Touch-A-Truck event held in Downtown Smithfield in November. The JWL of Smithfield is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women and improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. To date, the JWL has presented $81,000 in community donations and completed over 7,600 hours of community service.
“Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and the individuals and businesses who provided trucks, this year’s Touch- A-Truck was the most successful to date,” said Dana Satterfield, 2019 Touch-A-Truck chair. “We are excited to grow our event and its impact next year, and have begun planning our fifth-annual Touch-A-Truck, which will be held Nov. 7, 2020.”
