When you shop at the Rio Grande JCPenney from April 10 through 19 and round your purchase up to the next whole dollar, the JCPenney Afterschool Fund will donate the difference to the Cape May County 4-H Youth Development Program.
Studies show that 14.3 million children in the United States are unsupervised after school between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. each day.
Additionally, studies show that youth are at greater risk of involvement in crime, drug abuse, and other destructive behaviors during these hours.
High-quality after school programs keep youth safe while fostering healthy lifestyles, improving social skills and enhancing academic performance.
To address this issue, JCPenney created the JCPenney Afterschool Fund in 2001. Together JCPenney and the JCPenney Afterschool Fund have contributed more than $70 million to support after school programs nationwide.
The Cape May County 4-H Youth Development Program was added to the company’s approved list of charities in 2008.
The 4-H Youth Development Program is part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. For more information about 4-H in Cape May County, contact the 4-H office at 609-465-5115, ext. 605.
