From what I have been reading across the net, I have found that Jimmie Johnson is a very warm hearted person. Jimmie Johnson has helped raise funds to help organizations which help people. Jimmie and Chandra lost their home during the wildfires in California but were not hesitant to help others. Jimmie also loves helping children. He has been helping children and communities. He has helped to get families in need into houses in his community. Ill break down some information about the charities that Chandra and Jimmie have participated in.
The American Red Cross. He has been a member of the National Celebrity Cabinet since 2002. Teaming up with NASCAR and Lowe’s, they participated in Racing for Relief which is a per lap contributing. The Johnson's have also participated in relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina as well with California wildfires. Through others they helped to donate over $1 million.
The
Jimmie Johnson Foundation has teamed up with San Diego Habitat for Humanity. They help families in need in Jimmie Johnson's hometown of El Cajon California. They are going to build 4 homes on a piece of property. If you would like to see the family selection, become a volunteer, or donate service/materials simply

Since Jimmie's rookie year in 2002, he has been involved with the Hendrick Marrow Program. From participation in the Celebrity Golf Classic to being the spokesperson for the NASCAR Foundation Blood and Marrow drive, Jimmie really does his part. Hate to say it, but it sounds like something that we all should be doing! During 2008 Jimmie helped to collect over 4000 pints of blood and over 4500 volunteers were added to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. With that degree of dedication, that amount has the potential to save 17,000 lives.
Jimmie and Chandra also have served on the National Advisory Council for Make-A-Wish since 2005. Helping to grant the wish of a NASCAR race. Lucky Kids! Jimmie and wife have also started their own charity. Jimmie Johnson's Victory Lanes at Victory Junction Gang Camp provides free outdoor and camping experiences to the children with Life threatening illnesses. Many Children get to bowl their first strike here.
