Thanks to the generosity of The Coca-Cola Company, campers from 16 JCC resident and day camps had the opportunity to participate in the JCC Association/Coca-Cola Day of Caring/Day of Sharing Program and make a difference in their communities. Patterned on the Day of Caring/Day of Sharing projects at the JCC Maccabi Games each August, camps who were awarded Coca-Cola grants spent a day working on a wide variety of service activities that contributed to the welfare of their communities.
