🖤 Helping Families in Marion County Meet Their Most Basic Needs For five days during our Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI), members of the Junior League of Ocala wear the same black dress (or outfit) to spark conversations about something many of our neighbors quietly struggle with every day: a lack of resources, limited choices, and the difficult decisions families must make when essentials are out of reach. LBDI is more than a dress. It&rsquo;s a statement. A symbol. A conversation starter. And most importantly &mdash; a call to action. Here in Marion County:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">21% of children live in poverty</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">55,000 residents struggle to afford life&#39;s essentials</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">1 in 2 families cannot afford enough diapers for their children</li></ul>Your donation helps us change that.Every dollar supports the Junior League of Ocala&rsquo;s Diaper Bank and our community programs that provide families with the essentials they need to keep their children clean, healthy, and cared for. No gift is too small. Each one brings comfort, dignity, and relief to a family right here at home. Thank you for supporting LBDI and standing with us to strengthen Marion County, one family at a time.
