WELCOME

TO MY JOYFUL HEART

We are so happy you are here!

We are in full summer event mode here! We had a great kick off last week and are beginning to package up the bags for the children before they get out of school for the summer. Join us and say a prayer that the items and scripture included in the bags, touch the children's hearts and help them realize just how precious their lives are.

Coming up on Saturday, April 20 we will open the resale boutique from 9:30 AM till 1 PM. Come check out the items and see if you can find anything for Mom, Gram, or that special lady in your life. Mother's Day is just a few weeks away and there will be a special giveaway to the first 15 visitors.

Trivia Night is very close to being sold out. If you are interested in being there, don't delay getting your tickets! Tickets will not be sold at the door.

There is more below too!

and whatever you do, do it with kindness and love. ~1 Corinthians 16:14

Spotlight on Mike & Rick

When things are donated that we cannot use for the children, it piles up until we can hold a fundraiser with Savers. We have some awesome help from our volunteers who seamlessly show up and help make room in our warehouse! Thank you Mike & Rick for all your time and help and laughs!

If you wonder what type of things we accept, all kids clothing sizes 5-20, shoes, games, puzzles, toys (small or medium sized only) books and bedding and blankets in excellent condition. If you have a question on what we accept, give us a call!

Cesar needs a sponsor

Cesar is thankful for the good smelling toothpaste! Can you help sponsor him and make sure his immediate needs are met? A sponsorship costs $35/month ($1.15/day or $420/year). You will receive any of the letters this child sends us and ensure that he receives all his immediate needs.
