PROGAM EVENTS, ACTIVITIES AND FUND RAISERS
GOLDEN AGERS
The Golden Agers Luncheon is a monthly luncheon for our senior citizen population to stay socially connected through fellowship with friends and exposure to relevant topics and activities. Golden Agers traditionally meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, except during the months of June, July, and August. Due to Covid, all activities have been cancelled until further notice. |
SUMMER FUN CLUB
Each summer the Summer Fun Club day camp program is open to 100 youth participants residing in Chicago Heights. This program offers educational activities as well as weekly field trips to complement the learning activities taking place daily at the Center. Sponsorship opportunities available. |
HALLOWEEN TRUNK OR TREAT
Our Halloween event is held annually and it is a safe alternative to Trick or Treating for community youth. Jones Center turns into a haunted mansion where kids are invited to Trick or Treat from room to room and participate in other fun activities. Trunk or Treat 2020 was held on October 29th. Over 150 pounds of candy was given out to 117 kids. |
PENNY & DIME STORE
This giant bizarre, for kids only, allows community youth to purchase gifts for family and friends. Children are able to purchase items for any amount of change available. Once purchased, gifts can be brought to one of serval wrapping stations for the final touched. The children are thrilled to give their beautiful gifts to loved ones.
Penny and Dime 2020 will be held on during program hours with the children who participate in the Enhanced Remote Learning and After School programs.

BREAKFAST WITH SANTA
Kids wait all year for this opportunity to eat a hot breakfast and visit with Santa. Children ages 12 and under also receive a stocking stuffed with holiday goodies and a photo op. While waiting to see Santa, there are holiday activity tables which they can participate. Due to restrictions with large crowds, Breakfast with Santa 2020 will be cancelled but replaced with a party for the children during After School programming. |
