Junior League of Cedar Rapids

Over 900 children under the age of 18 are in foster care in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa community. These children are given very little (if any) warning that they will be removed from parental or primary care- most have little to no belongings and usually arrive with nothing. We, the 2018 Junior League of Cedar Rapids, are working to give them a sense of home & belonging wherever they go by creating “Kid Packs”. The intention is to collect a variety of unused personal items (blankets, books, pajamas, toiletries) to help provide these children with a sense of ownership when they have so little and are frequently on the move.

For over 100 years, Junior Leagues across America have worked with women, children & families who are in need of support. In Cedar Rapids, we have begun to focus on the needs of the youth in the foster care system and finding ways we can help bring them comfort and provide them with opportunities to succeed.

Broward Children's Center

Paul Hom Asian Clinic

Founded in 1971, Paul Hom Asian Clinic, VN CARES, and HLUB organizations are three free student-run health organizations affiliated with the UC Davis School of Medicine that serve at Paul Hom Asian Clinic facility in Sacramento. Our facility provides free healthcare services to the underserved population in the Sacramento County, primarily the Asian community. We offer services such as health screenings, ophthalmology exams, liver ultrasounds, nutrition counseling, and a vast amount of other exams and services. Each week, a team of physicians, medical students, and undergraduate students volunteer in clinic to educate and help patients find solutions to their health care problems. Furthermore, we annually host a Health Fair event at the UC Davis Medical Center (in the Education Building) where we continue to reach to more the community about the importance of health through various health resources and education. On one of the basis establishing Paul Hom Asian Clinic back in 1971, it was believed that language or financial issues should not be a barrier to access quality health care. Since many of the patients we serve are elderly and unable to speak English, UC Davis undergraduate students translate in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Hmong between patients and medical staff.
