JOY Toys - Partner Schools
We’re excited to share how our toy drive continues to support our partner school’s incentive stores all year long. These special stores give kids the chance to earn points for achievements like good grades and attendance, which they can later exchange for various items throughout the year. It’s incredible to witness the positive impact these stores have had on individual growth and academic success.
The best part? You can choose the bags you need as they are neatly organized by gender, grades, and colors. Feel free to select the ones that suit your preferences and help us spread the joy. Your support is making a world of difference in the lives of these children, and we’re so grateful for it.
Sponsored Families
Spread the holiday cheer by sponsoring a family or child through gift-giving! Visit the Christmas tree near the Local Missions Desk, adorned with ornaments indicating family sizes. Simply choose an ornament, fill out the accompanying card, and return it by December 10 to receive the family’s wish list. It’s a wonderful way to make someone’s holiday brighter. Plus, remember, each of our locations is supporting different organizations for these sponsorships. Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this festive season! To donate click here

Abara House Dignity Kits
For just $20 you can help outfit a migrant family with some essentials to help along their journey. Things like undergarments, diapers, snacks, and toiletries. Oftentimes when folks arrive they only have the clothes on their backs and one or two personal items. Our partner organization, Abara has a warehouse full of the basics. Migrants can go through the warehouse and choose what they need for their next leg of the journey. Consider helping stock the warehouse!
Holiday Fund
We kindly invite you to consider making a donation to our holiday fund. Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly enhance the lives of individuals and families within our community. Your support will help provide meals, gifts, and essential resources to those who might otherwise go without during this season of giving.
