Youth Center Gift Drive

The Jackson County Youth Center (JCYC) is a 50-bed juvenile detention facility that serves the needs of court involved youth. JCYC provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment to challenge youth to change negative behaviors. 

We want to bless JCYC this Christmas with gifts from their wish list! Find the Gift Drive trees in the lobby and grab a tag with the item you intend to purchase. Please bring your unwrapped gifts on Sunday, December 6th or 13th, or anytime throughout the week. There will be collection boxes at the Welcome Centers and the main office entrance. You can also have your items shipped to us at 120 East Main Street, Spring Arbor, MI 49283 before December 13th.
