Our Impact: Generosity in Action

Christmas Generosity

Every December, the Lake Geneva Jaycees turn community support into holiday magic through our hallmark Christmas Generosity program. We donate thousands of dollars annually to ensure that local families in need experience the joy of the season.

Our members and their families personally head to local stores for a massive shopping spree, hand-selecting clothing and toys for children. The spirit of giving continues at our lively wrapping party, where every gift is meticulously prepared. To finish this heartwarming journey, our members personally deliver these presents directly to the families' doorsteps.

This program is made possible through our proud collaboration with the Joint Lake Geneva School District and the Head Start Program, embodying the true spirit of community.

Thanksgiving Generosity

Since 1988, the Jaycees have been dedicated to fighting food insecurity through our Thanksgiving Generosity initiative. We partner with the Lake Geneva and Walworth County Food Pantries to provide holiday meals for our neighbors.

By purchasing and delivering essential supplies—including over 100 turkeys, hundreds of canned goods, potatoes, and stuffing—we help ensure that families across the Geneva Lakes area can gather around a full table. It is our mission to not only warm hearts but also fill stomachs, enhancing the well-being of the community we call home.
