The Junior League of Pelham’s Love Pelham initiative celebrates the heart of our town, the people, places, and spirit that make it special. Love Pelham inspires residents to give back, get involved, and make a difference together. 

Each year, Love Pelham unites our community through projects and fundraisers that reflect what we value most: generosity, belonging, and shared purpose. Funds raised directly support Junior League programs and partnerships that enrich life in and around Pelham including Woodland Park Playground, Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, and many other initiatives that strengthen our community.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected Pelham for all.
