About Us

​

A Chapel Hill institution since 1939, the Chapel Hill Service League promotes volunteerism and leadership by our members to benefit women and children in our community.  We provide hands-on support to many local non-profits to leverage their resources to make their fundraising, work session and collection efforts a success.  We provide an avenue for our members, many of whom are new to the area when they join, to make connections with other women working to improve our community.  As an entirely volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, CHSL members develop and refine leadership and organizational skills by serving on our board and committees that make the Chapel Hill Service League a resource for the entire community.

 

Each year we provide hundreds of volunteer hours to our partners, such as Wonder Connection, TABLE, IFC Homestart, SECU Family House, Book Harvest, PORCH, Orange County Smart Start Community Garden, NC Diaper Bank and Camp Royall.  

 

Christmas House, our signature community project for 75 years, helps make the holidays brighter for over 800 children in our community. We invite parents to choose brand new toys, coats, and books to give to their children.

​

Cinderella's Closet, our newest signature project, offers gently used prom gowns with a "boutique" experience for young women who otherwise could not afford prom attire.  

 

Membership is open to women of all races, religions and national origins who demonstrate an interest in, and commitment to, volunteerism.
