Volunteer Engagement
Not everyone is meant to be a foster parent, but everyone can do something to help with this heavy burden and broken system.
Joy Meadows serves children with excellence because of our excellent volunteers! With over 4,725 volunteer hours in 2022. We are so grateful for the support of volunteers. There is something for everyone.
Contact Director of Community Engagement, Anna Unruh, for more information.

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.
