Service Project

Friends of JMRL

This year’s service project benefits Friends of Jefferson-Madison Regional Library.  Books have the power to connect communities. By donating books to Friends of JMRL at the Nursing Summit, you'll support their biannual book sale, which helps fund literacy programs for children and adults throughout our community, including Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. Together, we can create and support opportunities for learning, connection, and belonging across Central Virginia.
