Giving to those less fortunate

Junior Board Members of the Joshua House Fund sent gifts to the needy children they met this summer when they travelled to Kentucky to build homes for two families living in poverty.

Alex DeCastro (shown in photo) who went on the building trip reflected, "I realized the full extent of the impact Joshua House has on a place like McCreary County. We build homes for families very much in need, which is a gift that brings joy to everyone involved in the process. These homes also continue to provide hope for the future. We cannot give a safe home to everyone all at once, but by going to Kentucky every year to try to make an impact, a little at a time, we help people in a meaningful way and let them know that the world outside their community cares about helping them make a better life."

Based in Darien, the Joshua House Fund is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to building houses for impoverished families in underserved areas of the United States.
