Be a Part of Giving Joy!

Giving Joy is an annual event at Journey Church, and we need YOU to make it a success! Through Giving Joy, we get the opportunity to come together and support parents in our local community by providing them with Christmas gifts for their children.

This year, we are holding our Giving Joy donations in July. This will allow us to collect donations and to build an inventory for this event in December. We need your help, Journey Church Family! Though it might seem early, we are excited to celebrate Christmas in July through Giving Joy.

You can drop off your donations at your location. Below, you'll find shopping lists and a link to an Amazon wish list where you can purchase gifts directly, and they will be delivered to the church.


We can’t wait to love our community through Giving Joy this year!

 From our church family to your family, we’d love to have you receive free toys through Giving Joy to give to your children this Christmas. Contact your school’s guidance counselor for more information on how to be referred.

Our goal is to make you, the parent, the hero, so we ask that you leave your kids at home during the event. This will help maintain the surprise for Christmas Day! If you are unable to do so, childcare will be provided for you.

Giving Joy will take place on December 14th, by appointment. Once you are referred, you will receive a link to a registration that will help you select your appointment time to minimize your wait.

TOY AND ITEM DONATIONS

Important Things to Note:

All items must be new and in their original packaging. Do not wrap the gifts as participants will be shopping during Giving Joy. To help us sort all the gifts by amount, please be sure to notate the retail price of each donation.

Donations can be dropped off each weekend at your location in collection boxes in the foyer, or at our main office during the week (9am–3pm Monday-Thursday).
