A Fun, Festive & Loving Christmas Day Celebration For Children & Families In Need

What Is
Joy To The Children

Joy to the Children is a heartfelt and compassionate non-profit organization dedicated to making Christmas a magical and memorable experience for economically disadvantaged children and their families in Nassau County, Florida.

Our mission, which began in 1995 with a group of friends seeking to bring joy to underprivileged children during the holiday season, has grown into a powerful movement of love, generosity, and community support.

Our Why...

At Joy to the Children, we firmly believe that every child deserves to experience the wonder and joy of Christmas.

We understand that many families in our community face economic hardships and may struggle to provide a festive celebration for their children. That’s why our primary purpose is to host a special Christmas Day celebration that goes above and beyond to create cherished memories and alleviate some of the burdens faced by these families.
