JOY Ministries to break ground on permanent home From the Board of J.O.Y. Ministries After 10 years of operation, J.O.Y. Ministries will finally have a permanent home. Currently located at 116 Public Square in Columbia. J.O.Y. Ministries invites you to join them at a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, June 12 at 2pmCT, as they begin construction on their new Crisis Resource Center located at 400 Greensburg St. J.O.Y. works diligently to serve those in the community who are impacted by poverty, fragile family situations, homelessness and addiction through the J.O.Y. Crisis Resource Center and two shelters, Cally's House and Ruth's Place. The new Crisis Resource Center will serve as the permanent home-base of these operations and provide greater space for food storage and clothing and home goods storage and improved accessibility for clients. "This space is an answer to countless prayers. We continue to be amazed by how God works through this community and provides the resources necessary to make this ministry possible," says J.O.Y. President, Traci Sharpe. "We could not do any of this without the Columbia community." While plans for the Crisis Resource Center are officially approved, J.O.Y.'s work is not yet complete. The anticipated cost for the construction of this project is almost $400,000. Over the last year, J.O.Y. has been working with donors from the local community and, as a result, almost two-thirds has already been raised. "We are so encouraged by the generosity of others, but we still have quite a ways to go before this vision becomes reality," said J.O.Y. Treasurer, Maggie Coleman. J.O.Y. is an organization for the people of Adair, made possible by the people of Adair. As such, J.O.Y. is calling on the Adair community once again. "Each year this community funds almost half our operational budget in a matter of weeks through our annual Christmas Campaign. We at J.O.Y. know what this community can do and we are humbly asking for our community to help us bring the Crisis Resource Center to life," shares Hannah Peck, J.O.Y. Vice President. Will you help make the J.O.Y. Crisis Resource Center possible? If you would like to donate to the J.O.Y. Ministries Building Fund please visit, www.joy-ministries.org.
