The events of this year have provided all of us with plenty of opportunities for our hearts to grow anxious. We’ve been faced with COVID-19, social/racial unrest, an incredibly divisive election season, and then just the challenges we each face personally. I walked through the loss of my father early in 2020, and I know so many others who have faced the loss of loved ones this year. There have been strained relationships, loss of jobs, the challenge of children in and out of school, friends/families with cancer diagnoses and other sickness, loss of opportunities, and it seems the list goes on and on. I can honestly say I’ve never lived through a year like this. It has left me longing for peace in my own heart.
 

What if you could make a difference in the education of a teen at The Joy House through dollars you are already going to spend? What if you could receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit by helping a Joy House teen with their education? The good news is you can through the Georgia Education Expense Tax Credit Program. This program has become a very important source in funding for us over the past 3-5 years. We are funding a large majority of our educational expenses through this program. Several of our partners have found this is a great way to give and realize the tax credit benefit. We are looking for a few more partners to join us for the 2021 tax year with a goal of funding our entire educational program. Please follow this link for the details on our website. If you need more information please contact Steve at 706-253-7569 or steve@thejoyhouse.org. Thanks for your consideration and we hope many of you will choose to take advantage of this as we roll into the New Year and make a difference for a teen at The Joy House.
