So thankful for Austin Bank collecting 606 boxes of Mac-N-Cheese for Project Joy this year! When we combined their donation with the schools donations, we were able to put 4 boxes in each Project Joy box! Thank you for your continued support!

Our Whitehouse office was proud to honor our annual tradition of collecting Mac-N-Cheese donations for Project Joy. Every Christmas their organization gives back to the community through food box donations. Thank you for allowing us to be a continued partner in your mission! ❤️

Allison Carr just left with boxes and gifts! I have about 6 boxes that need to be delivered in the next couple days. You need two people to lift these boxes. Please reach out- 903-570-6995 if you would like to help deliver any boxes! We try our hardest to deliver during school hours so the kiddos do not see gifts! ❤️❤️❤️
Project Joy isn’t one day. It’s not one week. It’s a whole season of preparing, collecting, purchasing, sorting, boxing, and delivering. Please be in prayer with us over this season. Pray that these families feel God’s love through the love of their community. All hands have been on deck throughout this experience; Business owners and employees, every single School and deptartment in Whitehouse ISD, All City Staff of City of Whitehouse Texas, private citizens, an devery church. We are blessed!

Amazing!!! Over 260 boxes packed and ready to go out to loving families!! These phenominal volunteers worked HARD and we were finished packing by 10:30am. Every item going out into our community!! Everyone showed up- business owners, city employees, teachers, school admin, school board members, criminal justice dept at Whitehouse High School, American Hertiage Girls, church members and families! We are blessed!!! Thank you to everyone that had a hand in Project Joy 2025! Now is the best part. All boxes and gifts will be delivered this week to these families. Please take the time to say a prayer over these families through the Christmas Season. Sit down with your church group, your family, or co-workers and pray the Love of God touches them and lets them feel LOVED and IMPORTANT in God’s eyes. He has provided this for them. We (volunteers and donors) are simply the hands and feet of this event. The Lord has provided the WAY and MEANS! To God be the Glory, GREAT things HE has done in Whitehouse, TX.

Beautiful day in Whitehouse, TX!!! Our community showed up in a BIG WAY! Each of our churches went to the WISD campuses and picked up their canned goods from their Canned Food Drive. Each church dropped off the items they collected. The banks dropped off their items! Flowers Baking Co in Tyler donated a loaf of bread for every single Project Joy Box! Thank you to all of our citizens, the High School Life Skills students, our City Employees, the Genesis team, and all of our friends that participated in Collection & Sorting Day! See you tomorrow for BOXING DAY!
