On November 9th, The JoyJ Initiative will hold its third Annual Walk to raise money and awareness to help people who are experiencing homelessness. Along the way, we will distribute our unique green comfort bags filled with much needed basic supplies and food to the homeless.
HELPING THE HOMELESS AND THEIR PETS
A Girl Scout, Annamarie, has been working towards her Gold Award. She has been able to provide the pets of the homeless dog/cat food, toys, blankets, and other pet supplies. By starting collection boxes at Blessed Sacrament Church and Saint Anthony of Padua in New York City, Annamarie started to put together “doggy bags” every month. She also received a large number of donations from a senior executive producer Ann Edelberg at MSNBC.
JoyJ Initiative will now have bags not just to give to the person, but also be able to help their furry companions.
Annamarie hopes that one day this will be able to expand into all JoyJ Initiative outreaches.

DELOITTE OUTREACH
On Friday June 9th, over 20 volunteers from Deloitte packaged and distributed 50 comfort bags in the area surrounding their offices. The day was a rousing success for our Corporate Outreach team as Deloitte employees exhibited support and enthusiasm for our cause. Numerous connections were made within their community and experiences were shared after the great day. Organizers from Deloitte could not have been happier with the outcome and have already expressed interest in hosting future outreaches. We thank them for the opportunity and look forward to working with them again!
