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 from each one 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.
