Holiday Gift Drive

                         Each year Friends of Joshua House Foundation conducts a Holiday Gift Drive to provide gifts 

Joshua House is a therapeutic residential shelter for abused, abandoned, and neglected children ranging in age from 6-17 years old.  We hold only one toy drive to gather enough gifts for ALL our children for an entire year. Your gifts may be for the holidays, birthdays, or to celebrate special milestones in the lives of our children.

 Below are items that are typically asked for by our children.
