There are a lot of food insecurities affecting families in our community right now, and we would love your support. This Saturday, September 12 at 12:00 PM, Jumpers Project will be hosting a food giveaway. Please bring identification.
If you’re interested in helping our organization in any way, we would greatly appreciate your support. We are especially looking for volunteers to deliver food to families who do not have transportation, assist with food distribution, or simply come out and volunteer with us on Saturday.
If you would also like to donate funds to help us cover the cost of a U-Haul for Saturday’s event, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Every contribution helps us get food to the families who need it most.
If you have non-perishable food items to donate, that would also be a huge plus. Our flyer is attached below with additional information.
Please feel free to reach out anytime if you’re interested in volunteering, donating food, or making a financial contribution. Thank you for supporting Jumpers Project and helping us serve our community! 💜

What to Expect: • Sunday Availability: Open 10 AM – 8 PM (Closed Wed/Sat) • Same Day Appointments: No long wait hours for urgent care needs. • ER Technology, Local Feel: Advanced in-house diagnostics, state of the art digital X-rays, and ultrasound paired with a warm, independent clinic atmosphere. • Specialty Care: The hospital hosts in-person cardiology clinics every other Friday, eliminating the need for long-distance specialty travel for Howard County residents. • Lifestyle and Lifestage Medicine &amp; Beyond: In addition to urgent care, VivaVets offers life-stage plans to keep your pets healthy from puppyhood through their senior years. "We aren't just a clinic in a building; we are a part of this neighborhood," says Dr. Sharma. "We wanted to bring trusted, timely care back to this location so that pet parents never have to choose between their schedule and their pet's health." Visit VivaVets Today!
