Project Jazzy J 2015
Morgan Moore here from St Anthony Foundation Free Clothing Program! We recently met and interviewed the founder of Project Jazzy J 2015 and wanted to spotlight her great work here. She is a great kid with great ambitions of helping those who really need it. Check out the interview:
Morgan: How did you come to the idea for Project Jazzy J?
Jazzy J: I wanted to give something people really needed. I initially thought blankets but not everyone has blankets lying around to give. I felt like more people would have jackets and because it gets so cold it seemed like a really good way to help.
M: Who are you looking to target with this Project?
J: I am looking to target low-income and homeless people… those who really need them.
M: How many jackets are you looking to collect?
J: 2015 jackets by the year 2015
M: How have you gone about collecting jackets thus far?
J: I started just asking my mom’s friends, my dad’s friends.. stuff like that. Then we set up a table in front of our house and began asking neighbors and anyone passing my. We created a Facebook page and so far social networking has really helped us. I intend to work with my school and my peers to meet my goal.
Jazzy J has raised 227 jackets thus far and St Anthony Foundation has been the proud recipient of her efforts. With winter just around the corner, we really need them! Coats and jackets are in such high demand with our guests so we often have trouble keeping them in stock. Project Jazzy J is really helping us address that high need and get many more people into warm jackets.
If you have new or lightly used coats and/or jackets that you would like to donate to Project Jazzy J you can drop them off here at the Free Clothing Program (101 8th St. making sure to mention they are intended to support Jazzy’s goal) or check out Jazzy’s Facebook page for more information Project Jazzy J 2015
Thank you Jazzy for all you are doing and let’s continue to work together to clothe those in need. We all deserve to be warm this winter!
A special thank you to Sybil Hunt from One Warm Coat for connecting us with Jazzy!
