Research and close contact with community advisors keep the Junior League in touch with the issues.
- The Ronald McDonald House, a home-away-from-home for families of children with long-term illnesses, stands as an example of the ability of the Junior League of Sioux Falls to mobilize volunteers to develop a new project. Now Junior League of Sioux Falls is working hard to build, update and "make the house a home" for the two new Ronald McDonald houses in Sioux Falls.
