St. Johns CARES Annual Giving Tree Initiative

Every year since 2007 the wishes of the clients of 40 non-profit organizations serving our target populations of the Elderly, Veterans, Homeless, Abused, Children and Animals in St. Johns County are placed on wish tags displayed in businesses, day care centers, libraries and organizations. The Initiative runs from early November to mid-December. The donations are collected, inventoried and distributed to the non-profit partners. Monetary donations are used to help meet the wishes and needs that were not received. Not only do the donations help the NPO clients at the holidays, they also help support the NPO partners into the coming year.
