What is Joy Menagerie?
Joy Menagerie is a support system for community members to have successful educational, work, and life experiences through goal setting, skill development, mutual support, material assistance, and knowing fun. Joy Menagerie provides a space and resources for individuals to be more ready to do their own community and individual work. It’s a non-judgmental space for good people to figure out how to be even better.
Why Joy?
Joy creates wellness. Joy is resistance. Joy is reinvigorating. Joy is pure. Joy allows us to be our best selves.
Why Menagerie?

We support community through: Events, Food Distribution, and Coaching and Connecting.
