Summer Joy

Summer can feel endless for a child living in an emergency shelter.

Without the structure of school, the days stretch long - and for children who have fled violence, uncertainty fills every corner.

Summer Joy will create moments of fun and healing for children in crisis, and let kids just be kids.

For many of the families we serve, these experiences and necessities do more than meet basic needs. They help children feel included when classmates talk about summer camp. They help parents feel confident when attending a school event. They help families create happy memories during a difficult chapter of their lives.

We hope you will help create a season of joy, healing, and happy memories for the children and families we serve.

Because every child deserves the joy of summer.
