Events and Updates

A wonderful way you can support our community during this challenging time is by donating a dinner via our MealTrain. You will provide our residents with an exciting change of pace at dinnertime and give our hard-working staff a break from cooking. If you would like to contribute, sign up for a slot on the calendar—you can make your own dish to drop off at the house, place an order with a local restaurant for delivery on your chosen day, or donate a gift card.

Email: nicole@josephshouse.org for support or suggestions. Thank you!
