2017 Programs for ASSIST (Homeless Students)
Although the number fluctuates, there are sometimes more than 700 students in the ASSIST (Aid & Support for Students in Sudden Transition) Program. This number includes pre-k through graduating seniors in the St. Johns County School District, including the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. These are our county’s homeless students.

Currently St. Johns CARES has two programs to help ASSIST students:
"Chip in for Youth" will help fund scholarships so homeless middle schoolers can attend the Gamble Rogers Middle School summer camp Marine Science Program. Go to The PLAYERS Chip In For Youth page; use code STJOHNSCARES; to designate a portion of your ticket purchase be directed to STJOHNSCARES. Event runs from 5/9 - 5/14
“Suitcases for Seniors” will provide each of the 20 or so ASSIST graduating seniors who are college-bound with a brand new suitcase filled with dorm essentials. Donors can shop from the Amazon "wish list" for suitcase items such as sheets, towels, or a desk lamp, and designate that they be sent to the St. Johns CARES business address provided by Amazon. If you prefer to shop locally, CLICK HERE for the content list. Donation deadline: 4/28
