The Martin Luther King Jr., national holiday was a day on not off for the teens of Jacksonville’s Chapter of Jack and Jill. Thirty-five students in the organization volunteered to raise money, organize and execute an educational and fun event for local foster students and other teens in the community. It was held inside St. Mark’s Lutheran Evangelical Church. More than 30 teens were recommended from organizations including the Children’s Home Society, Sulzbacher Center, group homes and Daniel Kids. Participants were treated to breakfast and heard from dozens of experts in the community focusing on financial literacy, health, wellness, and career planning and college fair kiosk. The attendees departed with a basket filled with more than $100 in items and gift cards. Many of the teens were surprised to see peers, realizing that there were foster kids all over this city and a community that cares.
