🎒✏️ BACK TO SCHOOL AT BOOKER ELEMENTARY! 📚❤️

There’s something pretty special about seeing a community come together to make sure kids walk into a new school year feeling prepared, excited, and supported.

And we have a HUGE thank you to give… 🥰

🚙❤️ THANK YOU, CENTENNIAL SUBARU! ❤️🚙

Centennial Subaru generously donated ALL of the school supplies for this event, while Share in the JOY was honored to provide the backpacks. Together, we were able to help Booker Elementary students start their school year with the supplies they need to learn, grow, and SHINE! 🌟

We are so incredibly grateful for community partners like Centennial Subaru who continue to show up for our kids. This is what happens when businesses and nonprofits come together with one goal, taking care of our community. 💕

From all of us at Share in the JOY…

THANK YOU, CENTENNIAL SUBARU, for helping us put a little more JOY into back-to-school! 🎒✏️📓🖍️

When nonprofits work together to make a difference in the lives of foster youth, good things happen ❤️

We are proud to work with Evel Pie, Smile Spaces and First Friday Las Vegas to make a few of the rooms at Child Haven a little brighter this fall.

Thank you KTNV Channel 13 Las Vegas for your coverage of First Friday!

First Friday returns with its August Adventures theme, featuring new public art, live entertainment, and community partnerships in the Arts District.

It only takes a couple of hours to make a child feel seen, valued, and supported. ❤️

This month’s JOY Day at Child Haven was another incredible evening filled with great food, fun, and opportunities for the amazing youth we serve.

A huge thank you to Cornedbeeflv for sponsoring dinner, and to Anthem Blue Cross, Foster Kinship, Independent Living, DJ Dell, SHERO Foundation, Scouting America, Raise the Future, Employ NV Youth Hub, and The Center - LGBTQ for investing your time, resources, and hearts into these kids. We couldn’t do this without you!

Want to make a difference? Join us at a future JOY Day as a volunteer, sponsor, or community partner. Together, we can show these kids they have a community that believes in them.

Six more. All Passed.

25 teens have now taken our trauma-informed food handlers certification class which was approved by SNHD last month.

All 25 have passed and obtained their food handlers card, allowing them to get jobs in the food service industry.

This class was created to remove what we were told was the biggest barrier to employment for a teen in foster care.

For 25 kids looking for their first summer job, that barrier no longer exists.
