OUR MISSION STATEMENT 

Uniting the community through helping others in need.

WHAT WE DO

We are a not for profit organization committed to helping local charities and others in need.  

Our group began in June of 2007 with only a handful of people in Julington Creek Plantation.  Now we have more than 125 volunteers which include representatives from our neighborhoods within Julington Creek Plantation, Durbin Crossing and other surrounding neighborhoods. 

We have really lived up to our mission statement “Uniting the Community through helping others in need”.  The work we do has allowed us to team up with several of the schools and local churches in our community as well as local businesses such as Publix, Nanak’s Landscaping, Bono's, Pinch-A-Penny, Belk Department Store and VyStar Credit Union.  

Since 2007 we have raised over $225,000 worth of charitable donations for many charities within St. Johns County and our volunteers have put in more than 5,000 community service hours.  We are so excited to have continued our work into 2012. 

JCP CARES provides assistance to local charities and those in need through donations and time.  We divide our charity efforts into four different categories; Animals & Environment, Senior & Medical, Children, and Homeless & Abused.  We focus on one specific group per quarter from each of these categories throughout the year.  

For the last three years we have also done a "Giving Tree" to help all of our local charities during the holidays. JCP CARES  also has a Crisis Team to assist those affected by fire, natural disaster or other emergencies.

Please check our website often as each initiative is planned we will add the details on how you can help. To find out more, please visit our Volunteer page.
