Our 2025 Project Joy Program was a success!
Thank you to all who donated, adopted, and volunteered. You are the holiday magic!!
As we get ready for next year, please consider giving through our Wishlist.
With the rising costs of living, many families are forced to choose between paying bills and creating a joyful holiday for their children. Project Joy aims to lessen that burden, ensuring the spirit of the season reaches every home.
Funds raised through Project Joy go directly toward providing food, clothing, and personalized holiday gifts to children in families facing financial hardship. Every dollar helps ensure that no child is left out during a season meant for joy and that more families receive the compassionate support they deserve.
Together, we can ensure that joy is not a privilege – it’s a promise.
Local children received toys, warm clothing, and food during our 2024 Holiday Program.
Local individuals, businesses, and organizations (hundreds of donors in total) donated gifts last year.
Holiday Program History
Since the Agency’s inception in 1987, it has brought holiday joy to local children through compassionate, community-driven support. In 1996, The Telegraph invited the Agency to expand its efforts by partnering with the Salvation Army to deliver the holiday program to more families in need. For decades, the support from the Telegraph and United Way helped the Front Door Agency provide food, clothing, and gifts to as many as 1,000 children annually.
As needs have grown and the landscape of assistance has shifted, the Front Door Agency has remained steadfast in its mission and Project Joy marks a renewed commitment to expanding access and reaching more families than ever before.
