A Visit from Saint Nicholas

This annual December event rallies the community around the issue of literacy in Jacksonville’s challenged elementary schools. It also provides 8,000 children a celebration complete with colorful backpacks filled with toys and books, story reading and a visit from Saint Nicholas himself.

To help make this worthwhile event a reality we need the help of caring corporations and individual citizens. Opportunities range from entire school sponsorships to sponsoring one backpack for a child.  For your contribution of $25 for each sponsored child, HOJ will send a festive holiday card to each person on your list acknowledging your gift in their name, or in memory/honor of someone special.  Click Share the Joy!, download and fill-out the donor information requested and return to HOJ if you would like to respond by mail.

Celebration of Service

Every year HOJ celebrates the good work of our community’s most outstanding volunteers with a black tie, gala event called Celebration of Service. This event, always held in April to celebrate National Volunteer Week and Jacksonville Volunteer Appreciation Month, is held at the Times Union Center for the Performing Arts Moran Theatre. Volunteer Awardees, their guests and volunteer supporters are treated to a VIP Reception that features our city’s finest cuisine, and then the awardees are highlighted in the awards ceremony presented in the theatre.

Sponsors for this event play an active role in recognizing these amazing volunteers. Click COS Sponsorship Opportunities to find out about the different sponsorship opportunities.

Points of Light Youth Leadership Institute (PYLI)

In the past, sophomores, juniors and seniors from area public and private high schools, have spent their Fridays during the summer at HandsOn Jacksonville learning about leadership, friendship, and most importantly, the causes they are passionate about. By the end of the summer these PYLI graduates have explored the needs in our community and together, with their new-found friends, have engineered a volunteer project that makes a positive impact on one of the needs they’ve agreed to address. What a way to spend a summer!

The PYLI program only charged participants a nominal fee of $75 to cover meals. This represented only a small amount of the actual cost to effectively run the program. Currently, HOJ is unable to offer PYLI until someone volunteers to sponsor the program. If you are interested, click PYLI SPONSOR. To find out more about this program, click PYLI.

 

Gifts-in-Kind: Neighbors to the Rescue (NTR) Virtual Warehouse

Clothes, cars, computers, toys - chances are, each of us has items ready to replace, yet often these same items would be welcomed as 'brand new' to one who needs them. We will help you find the person who can use what you no longer need if you are willing to list your donated goods on our NTR site which we call our Virtual Warehouse and hold on to those items until the right person is found.

Please submit the following information about any items which you would like to donate.  These items will be made available to our neighbors in need through the Virtual Warehouse. You will be contacted when a match is made.
