It's that time of year again!!

I'm asking that any of our followers that would like to do so make up a backpack for school. A typical backpack is usually filled with crayons, pens, erasers, pencils, notebooks of various colors ( most are required), three ring binders, etc. They are needed in all grades Kindergarten through 12th!

Next, choose a school, donate your backpack. It can be done anonymously or, even, in memory of someone. The guidance counselor at the school can make sure it gets to the right child in need.

There ARE homeless, less fortunate, children sleeping in cars in our beautiful town of Wallingford. To many they are invisible but believe me THEY ARE IN NEED! The average price can range anywhere from $5 to $50 for a backpack (your choice). For $10 you can fill a backpack with supplies!

Be blessed by blessing others❤️

Let go or be dragged....Zen proverb

With the freezing temperatures upon both my NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN friends, please use this opportunity! What a great start to the New year.....purge your unwanted clothes, coats, blankets, etc. BLANKETS AND COATS, things we don't even think twice about, could mean the difference between life and death for some. Even families with a home can still use blankets. We found a great need for single parent families last year. Fuel assistance is minimal at best. Many cannot afford the cost of heating their homes throughout the winter. Have you ever tried to get a good nights sleep in the cold? I ask you this...talk to your children about their classmates. The catalyst for this charity was when my 1st grade niece told me about a little girl with no coat in her class. The teacher wouldn't let her go outside. Your children are much more aware than you think. Put an extra pair of gloves in their backpack. Teach them that if they see someone in need of gloves, adult or child, pass these on. It is OUR JOB to teach the next generation compassion!!!

As this holiday season approaches, PLEASE, look around. Are there children in your neighborhood outside without hats or gloves? Is there that one child who always says there hungry? Is there a mom you see at the bus stop wearing no coat? You can always drop a " SECRET SANTA" box off at their door. It doesn't have to cost a lot but it can make HUGE DIFFERENCE in someone's life. Hats, gloves, hygiene items, gift cards for groceries or special treats like McDonalds or a movie. These small little gestures make lasting impressions in the eyes of a child. With all the madness in the world today....let there be PEACE IN YOUR HEART!!

As many of you know, I have relocated to South Carolina. Recently, I became aware of an alarming statistic. South Carolina is rated #1 in the country for women killed by men. My mother was one of the first three original outreach workers for Chrysalis (then known as the Battered Woman's Shelter). I believe that all things happen for a reason. I will keep my mother's memory and our mission alive here, at the beach. The need is so great here for an organization like ours. I want to thank each and every one of our "ANGELS" that supported and loved on our families in Connecticut. I will continue to update everyone as things progress. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Last year, Joyce's Angels was able to supply backpacks filled with supplies for EVERY school in Wallingford. This year, while I am preparing for a major surgery, we have not been able to hold our "BACKPACK DRIVE". I ask that if you can, please, drop off a backpack with appropriate start up supplies to a school in your area. Guidance counselors will get them to the children in need. Did you know their are children sleeping in cars, homeless in our beautiful little town? PLEASE, think of these children as you prepare your children for the new school year. Be blessed by blessing someone in need!!!
