Our organization endeavors to make a sustainable and positive impact on the community through a variety of ways. These include organizing events that promote volunteerism and extending support to individuals and groups identified by Share in the JOY, Inc. as having significant needs, while prioritizing their emotional and mental well-being.
Share in the JOY, Inc. concentrates its efforts on four key areas of need:
1. Children in Foster Care: Through thoughtfully organized programs and events emphasizing sibling reunification and positive experiences, we aim to alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with foster placement for children.
2. Victims of Domestic Violence: By partnering with local charities and orchestrating events that foster a sense of security, we strive to aid families in their healing process and provide them with the necessary resources and support to rebuild their lives.
3. Homeless and Shelter-Challenged Families and Individuals: Our initiatives encompass food, clothing, and essentials drives, as well as distribution events, designed to empower caring volunteers to make a tangible difference in the lives of our homeless population and those facing housing instability.
4. Animals in Shelters: Through educational campaigns and adoption events in collaboration with local shelters, we seek to raise awareness and reduce the number of animals in shelters, thereby enhancing their quality of life and fostering enriching environments for both pets and their adoptive families.
