It's fun being Santa Claus.

In 2005/2006 we serving 4 people including getting his young consumer a power chair in time for Christmas. It's fun being Santa Claus.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO SANTA'S HELPERS, THE VOLUNTEERS AND CONTRIBUTORS for making it possible for JCIL to acquire this $15,000 chair and invest $2,600 in McNairy County.


A priceless smile.

In 2004/2005 we had no funds from McNairy and the $3,886 we found elsewhere didn't go very far to meet the needs and requests.

However, we are proud to report it went far enough to put a smile on this young man's face.
