Bull Run Charity joins with JOY Ministries to help in crisis '... the mission of MusicFest held over the past few summers has focused on raising funds for a 100% local impact and we've made the decision to ensure each act of charity is coupled with a message of Christian love and encouragement...' - EASTON BRYANT The Bull Run Charity, a local fund collected each summer at the Bull Run Charity MusicFest, has graciously donated money to help run the J.O.Y. Crisis Resource Center for the 2017 year. This donation, coupled with the dozens of donations received by individual families and businesses in the past month, means that J.O.Y. has reached and surpassed its goal for the Families-for-$5 campaign, designed to solicit support from the community to increase the monthly income of the center by $450. "Achieving this goal will allow us to exceed the amount of ministry we did in 2016," said Director of Finance, Maggie Coleman. "The Crisis Resource Center will be able to meet the needs of more families, helping them escape or avoid homelessness. We already have the support of over 11 local churches, and hope to see that number continue to grow, but we love adding more community sponsors, like Bull Run Charity, too." The charity fund has been used to quietly help community members faced with seemingly insurmountable crises, so J.O.Y. was a natural partner. Easton Bryant, chief organizer of the fund, explained the mission of the music festival, held each summer, "Over the past few years, we've focused on making these funds have a 100% local impact. Any and all donations made at BRCMF are used to give a helping hand to people in our community. Even more recently, we made the decision to ensure each act of charity is coupled with a message of Christian love and encouragement, so making a contribution to help J.O.Y. thrive in our community was an easy decision. We love their vision." If you would like to meet a pressing need the J.O.Y. Crisis Resource Center, the Center needs food donations immediately, including peanut butter, canned and dried pasta, pasta sauce, dried beans, cornbread mix, macaroni and cheese, and canned meat.
