J.O.Y. Ministries wishes to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Columbia/Adair County community for their continuous support!

Each year, JOY Ministries hosts a Christmas fundraising campaign to raise funds for the upcoming year's operational budget. This year they needed to raise $65,000. However, with YOUR help, JOY Ministries raised $71, 864!

"We stand amazed at how God works through this amazing community," says Hannah Peck, JOY Ministries Vice President. "Year after year this community supports this campaign and often goes beyond our expectations. But they don't just support us during the campaign, they make our ministry possible every single day of the year."

In 2025, JOY Ministries distributed 2,851 food bags, housed 109 people, assisted 46 people in acquiring permanent housing, assisted 212 unhoused people in connecting with resources, provided 141 children with Christmas presents, and provide 300 holiday meals.

Thank you to everyone who makes this ministry possible!
