A TALE OF TWO YEARS

Reflecting on the 2019-20 service year, it's easy to differentiate between life before COVID-19 and life in the midst of a global pandemic. In spite of all of the things we feel the pandemic took away or altered dramatically during the second half of our year, we still worked for the betterment of Johnston County. 

The 2020-21 service year is off to an excellent start as we find new ways to make an impact. Thank you for supporting our ongoing initiatives, as well as our newly laid plans.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come!

TOUCH-A-TRUCK SHIFTS GEARS

In light of COVID-19, we can't gather to touch your favorite trucks this year, but we CAN fill a truck full of diapers to support the Partnership for Children of Johnston County!

 

We are collecting diapers, wipes, and monetary donations to assist the PFCJC in the creation of a diaper closet for families in need. You can easily donate via PayPal or Amazon, and businesses can sign on as sponsors!

 

We look forward to playing, learning, and exploring with you next year. Save the date for November 6, 2021!
