The Huntsville Junior Service League thrives on the motto of: “What we do only has value if we give it away.” -Anonymous

Below is a list of ongoing projects that we, as a League, stand behind with our full heart and soul. We are always looking for new opportunities to serve Walker County. In addition to these regular opportunities, we contribute to other local organizations by donating items and providing our time to serve as needs are identified.

Should you have a project or service opportunity for us to consider, please contact: jsl.huntsville@gmail.com.
