WELCOME
Welcome to the Greater Hartford Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. We are a membership organization dedicated to nurturing future African-American leaders by strengthening children through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and civic duty.
CHAPTER CONGRATULATIONS!
At the 47th National Convention of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., the Greater Hartford Chapter was honored with the Blood Drive Champion Award for collecting the second-highest number of blood units nationally in partnership with the American Red Cross.
Chapter President Anjanette Ferris Senatus accepted the award on behalf of the chapter. Under the leadership of Community Service Committee Chairs Jeanna Grimes Ogbar and Lauren Abdul-Ali, the chapter received a beautiful plaque as well as an investment to help continue the important work and programming we provide throughout our community.
A heartfelt thank you to our Community Service Committee, chapter members, Associate Jewels, and community partners whose participation and support help make our annual blood drive such a success.
Every donation matters. Blood transfusions save lives, and together, we are proud to continue serving those in need.
Hartford Girl's Rock
HARTFORD GIRLS ROCK! is a unique program developed by Epsilon Omicron Omega. This brunch event, with a keynote speaker, celebrates the academic achievement, leadership, innovation, and empowerment of young women from community-based organizations in the Greater Hartford area. In the months leading up to this signature brunch, the honorees participate in workshops on Goal-Setting, Career Exploration, Self-Empowerment, etc. facilitated by members of Epsilon Omicron Omega.
Proceeds from this event provide the Foundation for Educational Opportunities, Inc. (FEO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the fundraising entity of Epsilon Omicron Omega, with the financial support to positively impact the Greater Hartford area by advancing our efforts to provide scholarships to deserving college-bound students and leverage the capacity of our community programming.

The Greater Hartford Chapter proudly sponsored the establishment of the new Western Massachusetts Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. We are thrilled to welcome our newest chapter to the Mighty Eastern Region and look forward to supporting them as they begin this exciting journey.
Little Free Library Soars!
The Greater Hartford Chapter installed a Little Free Library at the end of last program year installed in partnership with Shiloh Baptist Church in Hartford, Connecticut and it has resonated with the area residents beyond expectations!
The Church is working in conjunction with the Chapter to store the book overflow and refill the Little Free Library as needed. Not only have our Chapter members generously donated to the Library, but we have received very generous donations from the community.
