The St. Johns County School District’s (SJCSD) Aid and Support for Students in Sudden Transition (ASSIST) program and St. Johns CARES want to provide ASSIST college-bound graduating seniors with a new backpack, academic calendar, water bottle, school supplies and a gift card for needed incidentals as they start the next chapter in their lives.
The ASSIST program helps approximately 700 homeless students ranging from pre-k to graduating seniors in the St. Johns County School District, including the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.
Each backpack and its contents are valued at $125.
