Little Black Dress Initiative

The Junior League of Greater Orlando participates in the Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI). LBDI is a week-long social media and community events campaign that uses the iconic “little black dress” to raise awareness about poverty in the Orlando community. Traditionally, LBDI participants wear a black dress or an all-black outfit for five consecutive days to illustrate the effects poverty can have on our society. A button that reads, “Ask Me About My Dress” helps invite dialogue among colleagues, friends and strangers.  The JLGO hosts LBDI community events during the week-long campaign, and participants are encouraged to harness the power of social media to drive online donations, raising funds to benefit JLGO’s mission and our partner organizations.
