Winter Wonderland
Established during the COVID-19 pandemic, Winter Wonderland grew out of Danette’s desire to ensure that families facing hardship could still make good memories during the holiday season. Families are welcomed into a special holiday experience where children receive gifts, families share a hot holiday meal, and parents can create memories their children will cherish for years to come.
Holiday Parties
Joy ministries host holiday parties for children in need which include a skating party where 100 children from the highest crime areas of her city are brought together for a night of joy.
Santa Snacks
When Danette became a single mom she discovered the pain of not having the finances to buy a Christmas gift for her child. She decided to do something about that and now helps parents experience the joy of giving by providing gifts they can place under the tree and share with their children on Christmas morning.
Holiday Meals
Joy Ministries delivers food to families experiencing hardship, offering nourishment, relief, and the comfort of knowing someone cares. Through various partnerships, Joy Ministries delivers meals and food to the doors of families in need.
Through Joy Ministries and the Holiday of Hope Outreaches, Danette continues to show that joy isn’t just for those who “have it all together.” Through the love of Jesus, everyone can experience joy every day!
