Little Black Dress Initiative
The Junior League of South Bend is excited to announce the fourth annual Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI), will be taking place in March 2020. LBDI is a fundraising campaign that aims to bring awareness to our community members who are facing distress, whether it be poverty, violence, or inequality.
In March, our members will wear one black dress for five consecutive days to highlight the effect distressful situations can have on one’s access to resources, confidence, and opportunities. Wearing the same dress for five days not only represents the lack of choice many in our community face, it also raises awareness of those needs and how the Junior League of South Bend can help.
