Family Facelift JSC helps meet the needs of one or more families in the community through donations at holidays, birthdays, and other special events.
Done-in-a-Day Smaller projects that can be planned and completed by JSC in a day or so. (For example, blood drives, soup lines, backpacks for schools, etc.).
Quarterly Collections JSC's special way of collecting specific items that pre-determined charities need in our community. (For example, in the past we've worked with Anderson Hospital, the Metro East Humane Society, and Books in Every Home).
Elderly Care Special events (crafts, games, bingo) are planned and carried out by JSC members at our area nursing homes and assisted living centers.
New Mothers' Baskets JSC puts together packages of diapers, bath products, books and layette items for young (high-school-age) mothers in need of support and education.
Adopt-a-Highway JSC has a 2-mile stretch of highway from the QT and past the YMCA Meyer Center. In the warmer months, the committee volunteers to pick up trash and clean up the roadside.
Meals-on-Wheels Giving the regular drivers a break around the holidays, JSC members deliver hot meals to shut-ins throughout the month of December.
Community Enrichment Award With this annual award, JSC strives to recognize the outstanding community involvement and service that the citizens of our area achieve.
