We would like to thank all of our sponsors especially  the following companies - FirstCare Home Services, Firmconcept, Mega Party Events and North Miami Ave., Church of God. All our donors and volunteers, without them we would not have made it this far. Some of our volunteers have gone above and beyond the call of duty and we appreciate your efforts. We want to thank my family for their continued support.Thanks to everyone for believing in Joshua's project and supporting it. May God bless you all.

Food Distribution
food distribution 2
Our August 23rd distribution was a success. We were able to feed over 350 people.We have made changes in the way the food is being distributed so we will need all volunteers to be on time for our next distribution
Elves Awards   Elves awards are scheduled for Next March. This will be our first annual awards ceremony, and we are still looking for elves. We are promoting philanthropy in youths.   First, second and third prizes will be a savings bond for elves if they are not in college, if they are in college, money can be used towards school.   Here are a few elves we would like to recognize. Keep up the good work guys.
Julianne has raised the most funds, promoted Joshua's Heart among her peers, referred volunteers and elves. 
Amanda, Staceyann & Tricia  have volunteered the most hours.

Adult Volunteers Volunteer awards are scheduled for sometime next year.We have some amazing volunteers. It may be easy to chose the person who have put in the most hours, but it will be difficult to chose the most valuable volunteer. You have all been working so hard whether its showing up on time, always willing or giving your all. I know your time is valuable and we appreciate it. More to come early next year on the awards. 
Sincerely,
 

Joshua's Heart Foundation, Inc.
