About Us

Purpose

The purpose of the Boone Service League is to provide individual development and leadership experience for women and to promote community service.

Who We Are

Established in 1957 as an auxiliary women's organization to the Boone Jaycees, the Boone Service League has grown to be one of the High Country's largest women's service groups. Today, the organization boasts a membership of 60 and is openly seeks new members who are interested in providing much-needed service while meeting new friends.

What We Do

Throughout the year the Boone Service League serves the High Country through a number of events and services. The Fashion Show and Silent Auction are our largest fundraisers. These two events are largely responsible for the thousands of dollars given through grants to local non-profit organizations. The Larry Headley Memorial Safety Clinic, celebrating it's 20th anniversary this year, is also a successful fundraiser and community enhancing event. The money from the Safety Clinic, given through grants, is designated for local non-profit programs specifically for children. Throughout the year Service League members are busy in various community programs meeting a multitude of needs.

Who We Serve

Countless individuals and organization have been served by the Boone Service League over the past 46 years. Those organizations receiving grants last year include Department of Social Services Foster Child Program, Appalachian Foundation for Hospice, Medical Center Home Health, OASIS, WeCan (Watauga Crisis Assistance Network), Green Valley Community Park, Watauga Humane Society, Blazing Saddles,The Playhouse, Watauga Health Department, Hardin Park School Library, and the Art Smart Preschool Art Program. Six college scholarships are given each year. The Service League has a regular long term commitment with the Hospitality House, and the Watauga County Meals on Wheels Program, Adopt a Street, Boone Street Fest, and the Watauga Medical Center Pediatric Playroom. Individuals and families with emergency needs may also apply for assistance from the Boone Service League.
