Backpacks for Homeless High School Seniors Enrolling in Higher Education May 2021
Thank you to all who contributed to the Backpack Project. Anti-theft backpacks packed with insulated water bottles, academic calendars and gift cards were delivered May 10th to the St. Johns County School District A.S.S.I.S.T. Program for distribution to the Homeless High School Seniors Enrolling in Higher Education. The backpacks serve as recognition of the students' hard work and accomplishments despite all odds. The backpacks also serve as encouragement as they continue their efforts to fulfill their education goals as they work towards a future of greater opportunities and experiences. Scholarships to help defray college tuition were awarded to two of these students. We extend best wishes to all of these students as they work to improve their futures. Thank you to Michal Israel, District Homeless Liaison, and Mitchell Moody for their continuing assistance and dedication to these students.

Sunscreen and Insect Repellent Needed! Summer 2021
Summer weather brings the challenge of sun burns and biting insects.

If you hold a neighborhood drive for these items, please contact president @stjohnscares.org or 904-507-7740 if you would like assistance in picking up and delivering a collection of these items.
