Community Engagement Hub

At JCEO, we believe that the strength of our community lies in the active participation of its members. Your involvement through fundraisers and volunteering plays a crucial role in making our mission a reality. Whether you're passionate about organizing events, lending a helping hand, or exploring unique fundraising initiatives, there are numerous ways for you to get involved. Together, we can create a positive impact and enhance the dignity and self-reliance of our community!

  • At JCEO, we have a variety of programs aimed addressing the unique needs of our local populations. We encourage you to fundraise for a program that aligns with your interests and passions while addressing our community's needs.

    To help you decide on a specific program or initiative to support, we recommend taking a look at our Fundraiser’s Handbook. It provides information about the various programs that can be fundraised for, giving you a comprehensive overview of our organization's focus areas. Whether it's supporting food assistance programs, educational initiatives, or other community services, the handbook will guide you in choosing a cause that resonates with you.

    Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance in deciding where to direct your fundraising efforts. Your support is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to collaborating on making a positive impact in our community!

  • Absolutely! Each year many local individuals and businesses organize their own food drives to support JCEO food pantries.

    To get started, we recommend taking a look at our Fundraiser’s Handbook, which provides valuable information and guidelines for organizing a successful food drive. This resource will help ensure that your efforts align with JCEO's mission and effectively contribute to supporting the residents of Clinton and Franklin Counties.

    Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions or need additional assistance!

    JCEO also often tables at other community events and fundraisers. Sometimes these events are included on our website calendar, but our Facebook page will have the most up to date information for these events.

  • Getting involved with already existing fundraisers is a fantastic way to contribute to our mission! JCEO actively participates in and hosts various fundraisers throughout the year, and we welcome volunteers and sponsors to join us in these endeavors.

    Volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring the success of our events. Whether you'd like to assist on the day of the fundraiser, helping with logistics and keeping things running smoothly, or prefer to work beforehand, assisting in organizing and collecting donations and sponsorships, your support is invaluable.

    For those interested in sponsoring our events, your financial or product donations can make a significant impact, helping us create successful and impactful fundraisers.

    If you’d like to sign up to volunteer, you can click here, or use the Volunteer Application link in the menu. Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions or if you're ready to become part of our fundraising efforts.
