2002 Hide-the-Line

The Hide-the-Line project has been serving the York community for many years. It is intended to provide clothing for underprivileged children during the holiday season.

The project was promoted at the December General Membership meeting so everyone could see what "the line" really was. York Jaycees asked patrons at the East York K-Mart to help "Hide the Line" over two weekends (Thanksgiving weekend and the first weekend of December). Jaycees also wrapped gifts in order to raise money and donations were solicited from local corporations.

Over $3,500 was spent to take 31 children shopping on December 14, with approximately $2,000 raised just through the solicitation efforts. The Jaycees worked with local agencies (York Habitat, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Migrant Education, Catholic Charities, Youth Advocate and the Lehman Center) to determine which children would go shopping. Santa Claus paid the children a visit.
