Volunteering at My Joyful Heart
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” – Proverbs 22:6
“Our mission is to seek and honor Jesus Christ in everything we do; and to treat our employees, customers and suppliers as we would like to be treated.” – CTO Enterprises
We lived this mission statement by volunteering at My Joyful Heart. This is a program for underprivileged children generally between the ages of 5-13 and in some cases infants and young adults who are disabled. It’s concentration is Chicago, IL and it’s south suburbs. CTO Enterprises believes in giving back to the community. A group of us visited this mission to volunteer
It was 95o that day with no breeze in the warehouse where we were working and sweating even though there were fans going. We worked for about 2-3 hours sorting clothes, school supplies, and whatever else needed doing.
For me personally, it was a new and awesome experience. Diane Carroll is an amazing and selfless woman.
Thank you to those who volunteered and My Joyful Heart for the opportunity to do so.
