FORT BEND JUNIOR SERVICE LEAGUE
Mission Statement
For the past 17 years, the women of the Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL), a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, have enjoyed camaraderie, friendship, and the joys of volunteering together to make Fort Bend County a better place. Since our inception in 2001, FBJSL has raised nearly $4 million dollars for charitable organizations in our community. In addition to providing monetary grants to beneficiaries, FBJSL members work tirelessly volunteering and provide an amazing 30,000+ service hours annually to our community. In addition to volunteering with our Core Placements, members of FBJSL work on our largest event, the Sugar Plum Market, on a purely volunteer basis. The Market is our annual fun-filled holiday shopping extravaganza with 100+ vendors and nearly 10,000 attendees. More importantly, it’s a wonderful opportunity to give back to several worthy charities operating in our community. FBJSL members work on this event year-round and last year raised nearly $300,000 for 24 deserving Fort Bend County charitable organizations.
