Nehemiah Project

As part of their ongoing support for Opening Doors for Women in Need (ODWIN), in 2012-2013, the Junior League of Fort Worth donated an initial $40,000, plus an additional $75,000 and 500 volunteer hours to build a home in the Como neighborhood. Along with discounted labor and materials coordinated by JLFW members, ODWIN constructed the Nehemiah Building, which provides space for women to receive help with the integration process after returning from incarceration. In 2015, JLFW received the AJLI Community Impact Award for this project.
