Since forming our 501c3 Charitable Organization in 2022 we have provided emergency support services, temporary housing, crisis intervention, youth & senior advocacy and distributed food, clothing and other resources to over 5000 members of our south suburban community. In 2024 we spent $44,210 on programming and emergency outreach efforts. From Q1 2024 to Q1 2025 our emergency outreach requests have tripled. We are working diligently with our partners to meet the need and create solutions in the South Suburbs. We are offering multiple sponsorship tiers. Please consider supporting Joy Emporium TODAY!
