This year, the Partnership is asking for monetary donations to help purchase gifts for families in need. Information and a link to the Partnership’s website are included below.

Information for Donors: Johnston Gives 2020 will look a little different than past years, but we still need your help. Our program continues to be open to JCSD students only. Typically we match children’s wants/needs with donors who purchase and return those items, which are distributed to the families before the holiday season. This year, we are creating a gift card program, where our participating families can choose a card to either Fareway or Wal-Mart, to purchase holiday needs or food for their families. When a JCSD family registers for our program, they will receive a gift card to either store in an amount proportionate to the children in their household.
