ESTABLISHED 1965
Amherst Junior Women's Club
Amherst, New Hampshire
"Women working together to make a difference."
Our club organizes a variety of fundraisers and community events throughout the year! Some examples include our Trot Off Your Turkey 5K, Easter Egg Hunt on the Green, Handbag Bingo, Election Day bake sales, Family Photo Shoots, and those pesky Amherst bears! In the past, we have held Casino Night, Battle of the Bands, a Farm to Table Dinner, and Comedy Night.
The money raised from these fundraisers goes directly back into the community through our CIP (Community Improvement Project) efforts. Every spring, the club receives grant requests from local charitable organizations, and we are proud to help fund these worthy programs. Some of the organizations we have helped in recent years include:
