Snack Drive

At Joy Meadows we provide a therapy center on site with over 2,200 sessions per year. Children who have experienced trauma often have food insecurities and struggle with stability and regulation. One key way that we can help with that is to provide consistent snacks that they can choose from each week at therapy.

Here is how you can help with a Snack Drive for our Therapy Center:

1. With your team, organization or volunteers, collect donations of new items to stock the shelves at the Clothing Closet. This can be done at an event or an ongoing basis that works for your team.  Most needed items include:
   • Small or large bottled water

   • Individually packaged gluten free snacks

   • Individually packaged pretzels

   • Individually packaged gold fish

   • Individually packaged pirates booty

   • Individually packaged sugar-free, all-natural fruit rollups

   • Please avoid all items that have added sugar or food dyes such as fruit snacks, chewy granola bars, or cookies as we cannot serve these

2. You may also choose to go to our Amazon Snack Wish List and have items shipped directly to Joy Meadows.

3. Schedule a time for in-person drop off of the items.

Thank you for playing a vital part in helping Joy Meadows support children in foster care, foster parents, kinship parents, and biological caregivers reintegrating with their children!
