Emergency shelter fund raising beginning by J.O.Y. Ministries

By Maggie Coleman

J.O.Y. Ministries is kicking off its campaign to raise $12,000 to build an emergency shelter for the homeless on the county parking lot beside the 911 Call Center.

A thermometer at the historic Courthouse will track the progress of this campaign. Earlier this winter, Adair County agreed to rent J.O.Y. a portion of the parking lot for the purpose of building a shelter to be maintained by J.O.Y. and its volunteers and donations.

To build this building, J.O.Y. is asking the community to step forward to donate funds towards the project.



Already, J.O.Y. has received a $1,000 private grant from the Motz Corporation and a $1,200 gift from the local Ministerial Association to kick off the project.

For years, the Ministerial Association housed homeless folks. Now, they are supporting J.O.Y. to take the reigns on this effort. A portion of the offering at the Association's Lenten Services will go towards the building project.

If you are interested in donating, please send a check to J.O.Y. Ministries at P.O. Box 114, Columbia, KY 42728 with the word "Shelter" on the memo line.

You can also give via PayPal at www.joy-ministries.org and write "Shelter" in the notes section. If you have any questions, please contact Maggie Coleman at 704-281-3055. Thank you and God bless you!
