Just in Time for The Holidays!
A JIT Family Tradition
Deck the halls and hang the holly – This holiday season, we are incredibly grateful for every single member of our Just in Time community! And what better way to express our gratitude than with a party?
On Saturday, December 7th, Just in Time brought together more than 150 participants, alumni, volunteers, staff and supporters for our annual Just in Time For The Holidays celebration.
Those in attendance engaged in a heated gingerbread house building contest before setting down to a holiday feast with towering plates of smoked ham, mashed potatoes and tamales.

“My JIT coach Kristi helped me redefine my purpose and once again provided the encouragement I needed. I began to write a story that could help children identify the signs of abuse by connecting with characters in books.” ~ Karla, Confident Award Winner, aspiring author, Just in Time Participant
We Get By With Help From Our Friends!
Church at Rancho Bernardo donated over 20 beautiful gift baskets that were raffled off to youth in attendance. Every youth at the party was gifted a Santa Bag stuffed with goodies provided by Jennifer Moores’ Family and Friends, and colorful hand-knit scarves donated by Louarn Sorkin’s Creative Yarn Group.
