St. Johns CARES, Inc. (formerly JCP CARES) is a nonprofit organization committed to helping local charities in St. Johns County. We provide assistance to local charities and those in need through donations and time. We divide our charity efforts into five different categories; Animals & Environment, Senior & Veterans, Children & Education, Medical and Homeless & Abused. We focus on these categories throughout the year.
Thank you to all the volunteers, partners, host donation sites and donors in helping St. Johns CARES, Inc. distribute over $18,000 in food to three local food banks in November and over $55,000 in goods & gift cards to 40 non-profit organizations in St. Johns County serving Elderly, Veterans, Homeless, Abused, Children and Animals in December 2019. We could not have accomplished this without your participation.

Annual Initiative
Backpacks for Homeless High School Seniors Enrolling in Higher Education
Of the nearly 700 children in the St Johns County Public Schools that are in the ASSIST Program for homeless and unaccompanied youth, 25 are expected to graduate and pursue higher education this year. Our goal for each of these graduating students enrolling in higher education is to provide a new backpack suitable for a laptop computer, an academic planner, insulated water bottle and a gift card for needed incidentals by May 8th. The backpack and contents is a way to recognize the students' academic accomplishments despite all they have experienced and endured in their young lives and as encouragement as they pursue a future of greater opportunities and experiences.
Donations may be made using the donate button below, by check to St Johns CARES at 450-106 State Rd 13 North, St Johns, FL 32259 or on the St Johns CARES Backpack for Homeless Students Wish List on Amazon.com.
