ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (September 4, 2025) – – The St. Johns Housing Partnership (SJHP), creating safe, clean, affordable housing in North Florida since 1996, has announced a county-wide initiative on “National Make a Difference Day,” Saturday, Oct. 25, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Make a Difference Day mobilizes volunteers over St. Johns County to help paint, clean and repair homes for veterans, the elderly or disabled. Volunteers are needed for exterior house painting, repairs, landscaping, yard clean up and to help build wheelchair ramps.

“Make a Difference Day is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community. The stories about individuals and organizations who joined together to lead and lend support to this cause shows a striking visual of the power and impact of volunteers,” said SJHP Executive Director Bill Lazar. “They show us how strength and generosity flow from simple acts of service.”
Individuals, teams, and companies can visit www.sjhp.org to volunteer on Make a Difference Day. In addition to recruiting volunteers, SJHP need donations of materials and in-kind donations.
National Make a Difference Day was created by “USA Weekend” magazine in 1992 to offer community support and encourage volunteerism across the country.
Points of Light, a non-profit organization founded by former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, is the official co-sponsor of Make a Difference Day. Ever since its inception, Make a Difference Day has echoed in thirty countries and has inspired over thirty million volunteer hours.
