Loni Hansel Community Enrichment Award
Since 1988, the JSC has honored individuals whose time and dedication have made a difference in the lives of those in the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon communities. Originally named the Community Enrichment Award, the name was changed several years ago to honor a beloved JSC member,  Loni Hansel,  who unexpectedly passed away in 2011. Loni joined the JSC in 1970,  and for over 40 years, her devotion made a big impact in the lives of those in our community.

Meals-on-Wheels
JSC members deliver meals to shut-ins during the month of December through the Main Street Community Center.

Project 612
Project 612 is a collection/donation program started by parent volunteers in Edwardsville School District 7. JSC members assist with gathering food that would otherwise be thrown away and transporting it to local public aid agencies.

Senior/Patient Care
JSC members plan and participate in events at area nursing homes.
