Private Screenings
Annual Breakfast with Santa
Community Cleanup
One of the things our founder loved to do growing up was go to the movies. Going to the movies educates, inspires and allow an escape from reality if only for a brief moment. Whenever there is a movie with historical significance or a heartwarming family film we plan our JAC Family night out and we take the community to the movies. We have done private screenings of 12 years a Slave, Selma, Chiraq, and The Lion King just to name a few.
