Find the Good Day: JLP Members Turn Optimism into Action

Twenty-four JLP members gathered at our Headquarters to commemorate International Find the Good Day on Saturday, September 20th. Volunteers prepared 140 meals for Mama-Tee Fridges, a mutual aid project that helps food-insecure neighbors access fresh, nutritious food.

 

The meals consisted of a wrap, side salad, and yogurt parfait, and were distributed to community fridges located at senior living centers, schools, and pharmacies throughout Philadelphia.

 

“Find the Good Day” was established by the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI) in 2023 as a global initiative to celebrate optimism, community, and positive change. The Junior League of Philadelphia centers food insecurity, hunger, and nutrition as a core focus of its mission and philanthropy, and this event offered members a hands-on way to make a tangible difference in the lives of neighbors in need.

 

Saturday morning began with chopping cucumbers and ended with yellow refrigerators overflowing with healthy, ready-to-eat meals—an inspiring reminder of the power of community, collaboration, and caring for others.yellow refrigerator with the words "Free Food" inscribed and filled with meals to-go prepared by the Junior Leauge of Philadelphia
