Join JVC in making summer break kits! Volunteers assemble drawstring backpacks containing activity sheets, water, sunscreen, beach balls, crayons, and bubbles. These bags are donated to organizations including Maree G. Farring Elementary School, Community Crisis Center, Beans & Bread, and more so that students can have a fun summer.
