The Jamieson Community Center's programs are designed to increase food security and help people with essential services. More than 2,500 people receive some type of assistance from JCC each year. Some receive meals on a daily basis through our Senior Nutrition or Summer Meals programs, some are guests each month at their pantry, some receive seasonal help with school supplies or at Christmas, and some receive help on an annual basis through their Jingle Bills fund. Many more shop at our thrift store to buy clothing or household items at affordable prices. JCC administers Warm Neighbors Cool Friends energy assistance program.
