DAY THREE: Advocates have taken a pledge to “live with Limitation” for 5 days by wearing the same dress each day this week for the Little Black Dress initiative. Clothing can have a profound impact on a person’s outlook and access. And when you’re one of the mothers living in poverty while trying to provide for your family can make it nearly impossible to get ahead.If you’re a parent join us in supporting these women living in poverty.

Little Black Dress Initiative 2021

Did you look in your closet full of clothes this morning and think I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!?

What if your closet only had one thing in it? Or what if your “closet” was a bag you lived out of at a hotel or homeless shelter?

Next week is our 3rd annual Little Black Dress Initiative. Junior League of Topeka members and community advocates will be wearing the same black dress every day Monday through Friday to raise awareness about the challenges facing those who live in poverty in the Topeka area and to raise money for Junior League of Topeka programs that provide food, health, and other services to the most vulnerable among us.
