JAMESTOWN – The Joint Neighborhood Project in Jamestown will be closing down this summer. According to a recent article in the Jamestown Post Journal, funding was a major reason for the closure of the organization, which has been in service for over 50 years.
Currently, the JNP has a food pantry, which served roughly 80,000 meals last year; the Nearly New clothing store, which has clothing and household items; a summer day camp program for children ages 5-10; a live and learn English program, where basic English classes are taught to Spanish speakers; and a Hispanic service navigator program, which allows people who speak Spanish to come to the JNP and receive help.
The JNP will continue to operate until June 30, although its last official day of service will be June 28.
