Support Go Green!

JCCCNC's eco-conscious inititative

In 2007 the JCCCNC went beyond helping the community to helping a global cause with the "Go Green" initiative. From the support of the State and Federal government and community members like you, we were able to raise $219,000 of the $299,000 to install solar panels on our roof. These solar panels will enable JCCCNC to produce 46,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, save up to $11,000 in utility charges annually and reduce the Center's carbon footprint. Today we are reaching out to you to complete this intiative and preserve our global community.

Do your part for the planet by investing in

the Go Green Initiative!
