Who We Are
|
The Junior Guild of Rocky Mount is a civic organization comprised of women who live or work in the Rocky Mount area, focused on serving the needs of our community through volunteerism.
During our ten meetings throughout the year, we hear from guest speakers from the community, socialize among the membership, and discuss our major fundraisers, such as our annual fall mum sale and our annual spring bargain sale. All proceeds from the Junior Guild’s fundraisers are directly funneled back into the community. Each year, we select community recipient organizations to receive funds raised. We also continue to support several other organizations throughout the year such as the Salvation Army bell ringing, Bassett Center, My Sisters House along with other various causes, as well as our Junior Guild scholarship program for outstanding local young women attending college. Every member is committed to at least 36 hours of volunteerism per year coordinated through the Junior Guild. Active members serve for seven years before becoming sustaining members. |
Our Purpose
|
Founded in 1937, the Junior Guild of Rocky Mount has grown into one of the outstanding civic clubs of the community. Its purpose has always been to foster interest among its members in the social, economic, educational, cultural, and civic conditions of the community and to make efficient their volunteer service. The Junior Guild of Rocky Mount does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnic origin, economic status, sexual orientation, or religion.
