We invite you to be a part of this community project by purchasing a brick in the entranceway. Buy a brick for yourself or in honor or memory of friends or loved ones; pay tribute to someone who has made an impact on your life or career; make a lasting footprint in our community. You can have a name, business name, or message engraved that will be permanently displayed. Your generous donation will allow us to provide facilities that will enhance the life of a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system and promote the mission of the Junior League of the Palm Beaches.

We invite you to be a part of this community project by sponsoring the renovations of a room. The funds will go directly towards painting each individual unit, making cosmetic repairs where needed, and purchasing new furniture and decorations. A 12X12 bronze plaque will be permanently displayed outside each sponsored unit honoring the generosity of the donor. You can have a name, business name, or message engraved that will be permanently displayed.

We are looking for each unit to have a new or used television for their shared living room space. A quote from a local store indicates the price for a new 24 inch television is $146.00, the total for 12 TV's is $1,752.00

Vita Nova has requested a total of 27 new mattresses for the residents. They will need 15 full mattresses and 12 twin mattresses. Box springs are also needed for each.

The renovations and updates to the living quarters are quite extensive and funds are needed to purchase numerous items from IKEA. Each unit will receive; a dining room table and 4 chairs, 2 barstools, couch, 2 sitting chairs, floor rug, coffee table, media table, mattresses, beds and bedding, a night stand, floor and table lamps, chest of drawers, bedroom area rugs, bathroom mat, bathroom accessories, shower curtain, rod and rings, kitchen glasses, utensils, plates and dishes, and numerous decorative items to make this space feel like home.

Junior League of the Palm Beaches would like to document our progress as this project is underway. We would like to begin with before photos and footage and update it from time to time until we have the renovations completed. We are hoping the end video is a short documentary about all our hard work at the Vita Nova Residences. This video will be played during our 75th Anniversary Gala for all attendees to see.

The walls of each living unit need to be patched and painted. If you or someone you know is interested in donating the paint, materials, or labor needed please let us know!

All 12 units need some serious scrubbing! If you or someone you know own a professional cleaning company and would like to donate your service, please let us know. The units need a complete kitchen cleaning, countertops, oven, stove, and refrigerator, vacuum and mopping, windows cleaned, dust removed, and some bleach in the bathroom fixtures.

During the renovations we came across a punch list of additional items that need attention. For example, handrails need to be repaired or replaced, some caulking needs to be done in the bathrooms, there are some holes in the walls that need patching, a cabinet or two may need some minor repairs. If you are handy and would like to help, let us know!
