Local nonprofit organization St. Johns CARES generated over $72,000 worth of monetary and in-kind donations during November and December through its annual food drive and Giving Tree initiative.
Community and business support in November enabled St. Johns CARES to assist Christ’s Cupboard Food Pantry, St. Francis House and the S.E.A. Community in providing food to county residents in need.
During the December Giving Tree Initiative, 67 St. Johns County businesses, clubs and organization served as Giving Tree host sites. These featured decorated displays with wish tags representing items needed by 40 St. Johns County nonprofit organizations serving seniors, veterans, homeless, abused, children, medical and animals.
