Sharing the Joy of Christmas

Christmas at the Joseph House means lots of work and lots of smiles!

Every year we give away gift bags to more than 600 children from low income families. The bags have toys, books, art supplies, and items for cold weather like hats and gloves. We often receive adorable handmade gifts that make us wish to be young again!

Our donors allow us to be generous. A family of eight received a bag for each child, filling up the back seat of the car completely. There is always so much goodwill to share.

We are grateful for all of our donors and volunteers who make it possible for The Joseph House to bring the blessings of the Christ Child to children all over Delmarva. A special thanks go out to WBOC-TV for their “Bless Our Children” grant that is a huge help in bringing the joy of Christmas to our families every year.

Making children happy at Christmas is so heartwarming. The weeks and months of preparation are definitely worth it!
