Donation Requests from JOY for Ruth's House

By Maggie Coleman

JOY Ministries will finally be formally dedicating and opening our new shelter, Ruth's House, this month. This gives JOY a 4-apartment shelter for women and children with a counseling office and employee housing, in addition to the existing 1-room shelter, Callie's House, that opened in 2019. JOY has had such a wave of clients, that the organization could not get the house into its final stages since it was purchased in April. It had to immediately be put to use.

Here are the immediate needs that JOY has for the house, along with some needs we will have regularly over the coming years to keep the shelter running.

Immediate needs:
  • brooms
  • mops
  • cleaning cloths
  • 60 watt light bulbs
  • adjustable curtain rods
  • 1 ultra big first aid kit
  • shower head
  • bath towels
  • long curtains
  • outdoor garbage cans
  • medium sized first aid kits
Recurring needs:
  • full bars of soap
  • regular sized garbage bags
  • shampoo and conditioner
  • antibacterial wipes
  • all purpose cleaner
  • toilet paper
  • ziplock bags
  • diapers of all sizes


Thanks! We are making a HUGE difference for these families! We are getting them jobs, into permanent homes, and helping people get off drugs. It is awesome to see!

J.O.Y. Ministries is open 11-5 Monday through Thursday at 411 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY.
