Junior Service League of Hobbs, Inc.
Junior Service League of Hobbs, Inc. ("JSL") was founded in 1956 as a service organization for women. Since its inception 50 years ago JSL has been comprised of dedicated, hard working women.

Toy Workshop - We purchase, wrap, and deliver toys to approximately 700 underprivileged children every year. We attempt to select children that would not otherwise be receiving any gifts for Christmas.
Outreach - At Christmas, we adopt three to five families who are in great need. We then attempt to meet as many of their day to day needs as possible (including utility payments, blankets, heaters, canned goods, household supplies, etc.) as well as providing Christmas gifts for the children of the families. We have partnered with Stone Elementary and
Children with Critical Needs - We have provided car seats and utility payments so that newborn infants could leave the hospital in a safe fashion and go to a heated home.
