Fall Festival:
It is our pleasure each year to host a large Fall Festival that is open to the public and free of charge. There are pony rides; hayrides; puppets; demonstrations of wood turning, quilting, weaving, spinning, shearing, etc. We provide lunch, old-fashioned games, crafts and music – all free of charge.
The event takes place in October in Western Loudoun County (VA). The event is completely free and open to all. So spread the word and invite your friends!
American Heritage Education:
Our goal is to bring together master artists and interested novices in hands-on learning environments. The service component of our heritage programming includes our Valiant Warrior project and Station Stitchers. Both projects bring together hundreds of volunteers. Quilts made through the Valiant Warrior project are for those who are wounded in services to our country. Those made by the Station Stitchers are for patients at Loudoun Hospital (VA).
The Valiant Warrior Quilting Event takes place in January and July. Since January 2011, we have made 1500+ quilts through this labor of love.
Community Service:
We are big on cultivating service. We model and mentor service through our free events and activities. We have been part of the President's Volunteer Service Award program and offer many service opportunities.
Teen Safe Driving:
If there’s an opportunity to share with young people about safe driving, we’ll take it!
Joyce Guthrie shares the story of Joshua’s accident in a variety of settings in hopes that his life and death will make a difference – encouraging young drivers and their parents to drive safely.
Joshua’s Hands has also produced a car magnet to help alert veteran drivers to give new drivers a little more space and grace as they learn to drive.
Scholarships:
We have awarded $45,000+ in college scholarships.
About Us:
Joshua, died in a car accident at the age of 16. He was the second of seven children and had a sweet and gentle spirit.
Joshua was a gymnast and knew the value of working hard. His hands were calloused from the daily disciplines of his sport; but his calloused hands were tender with his siblings and in service. In memory of this wonderful young man, who is missed greatly, we have established a nonprofit organization called Joshua's Hands.
