What Volunteers have to say:

"I love serving at JM because JM makes a difference for foster children and foster parents. Volunteering at JM reminds me how much the Lord delights in each and every person. Zephaniah 3:17. My heart breaks when I see [one of the foster children] come every week and his face reflects such incredibly deep sadness & despair. I pray every week, "Lord bring a smile—even a little one—to his face and some light to his eye. Lord, please take away his deep, deep despair and replace it with Your joy."

Serving as a volunteer is one way I can help provide something that gives others the opportunity to enjoy a carefree life experience, whenever they visit Joy Meadows

To love on kids, to play with kids, to just listen to them and enjoy time interacting with them is a blessing that any ministry can hardly give back like working with foster kids can!... Being a part of this Joy Meadows Family brings me joy.
