The Giving Tree


​2018 will be the 12th Annual Giving Tree Initiative 

Last year's Giving Tree was able to raise  approximately $40,000 in donations for 40 in-county charities' wish lists of items necessary to continue their good work.  Many thanks to our generous donors, business supporters and sponsors, and adult and teen volunteers.  See our Photo Album for a few pics of charities picking up the items.  

Each year, over 70 businesses throughout St. Johns County host “Giving Trees” by putting tags with wishes from the nonprofits on their holiday trees.  These wishes are donated by the community, then collected by volunteers, sorted and distributed in the second week of December.  Businesses are also able to sponsor a particular charity, or make a cash donation to go toward purchasing wishes that were not donated.

In prior years, this project has generated up to $50,000.00 worth of donations, both in-kind and monetary, benefiting more than 40 nonprofit organizations in St. Johns County.  St. Johns CARES continues to partner with community groups, libraries and businesses in St. Johns County. 
​ Let's make 2018 the best ever! 

Great opportunities for teen service hours.

SignUp Genius page.
