(From Soroptimists International of Joplin)This year, the club is excited to partner with Miller Nut Co., a family-owned business in Afton, OK. By partnering with a local producer, the club is supporting not only Soroptimist programs, but also local growers.
Monies raised from the campaign will fund the annual Camp Soroptimist, a recreational retreat for Jasper County children in foster care. The camp has been Soroptimist International of Joplin’s keystone annual service project since 1984, when members of Soroptimist International of Joplin and employees of the Jasper County Division of Social Services/Children's Division came together to focus on the needs of foster children in our area.
Funds also supported the Live Your Dream© Awards that supports education and training for women, and the Dream It, Be It Career Support for Girls© program, which empowers at-risk high school girls with tools they need to achieve their education and career goals.
To place an order, please contact Amanda Mitchell at amanda.mitchell033@gmail.com, or Lori Magoulas at lorim@componentpackaging.com. The catalog of products may be viewed at tinyurl.com/2025sijnuts. Delivery of orders will take place in early November, in time for the holidays.
Soroptimist International of Joplin is part of Soroptimist International of the Americas, a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Soroptimist, a 501(c)(3) organization that relies on charitable donations to support its programs, also powers LiveYourDream.org—an online community offering offline volunteer opportunities in support of women and girls.
