"Service to Humanity is the Best Work of Life"
- Jaycees Creed
​
We don't just say the creed, we live it! Since being formed, the Athens Jaycees have strived to make a positive impact on our community by participating in a myriad of work projects and community service initiatives. We have partnered with several organizations over the years to serve our community.







Toys for Tots
Every year, the Athens Jaycees are the muscle behind the Athens Toys For Tots Campaign! Our work with Toys For Tots is our flagship service project every year. Starting in October and working through December, the Athens Jaycees stay busy distributing boxes to over 130 local businesses, as well as collecting, sorting & distributing toys to lower income families. Over the years, the Athens Jaycees have helped provide presents on Christmas morning to thousands of families in need. In 2024, over 2,270 children in the Athens area were provided toys through Toys For Tots!
Other Projects
In addition to Toys For Tots, the Athens Jaycees serve the community throughout the year by supporting and working with several other local organizations (some mentioned below). Over the years the Jaycees have provided support and thousands of volunteer hours in and around Athens, GA.
