The Joseph House

As I reflect on our Annual Benefit, my heart is full.

To every guest who joined us — thank you for showing up and standing with The Joseph House. Your presence alone speaks volumes.

To our incredible sponsors — your generosity helps make this mission possible in ways you may never fully see. We are so grateful for your continued support.

To everyone who purchased raffle tickets, made donations, and gave so generously — thank you for believing in the work we do and investing in the lives we serve.

To our amazing volunteers and planning team — the hours you poured into organizing, preparing, decorating, coordinating, and serving did not go unnoticed. This event simply would not happen without your dedication.

Serving as Executive Director of The Joseph House is a true honor. I have the privilege of seeing firsthand the impact of this community’s compassion every single day — and none of it would be possible without you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, your generosity, and your faith in this mission. We are deeply blessed by this community.

-Kevin Terry, LVN

It’s Fundraising Month at The Joseph House! 💜

We intentionally choose the shortest month of the year—because the work we do is about honoring every moment.

This is our annual fundraising month, and it’s the only time all year we ask for financial support.

The Joseph House is a licensed Special Care Facility and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We receive no federal or state funding. Every dollar that sustains our home comes directly from the generosity of our community.

We provide a home-like environment for terminally ill residents, partnering closely with the hospice provider of each family’s choice to ensure care is delivered with dignity, compassion, safety, and love.

💜 This online campaign is especially for those who want to support our mission but may not be able to attend our fundraiser on February 28th.

Every gift—large or small—directly supports comfort, peace, and presence during life’s most sacred season.

If The Joseph House has ever touched your heart, or if you believe no one should face the end of life alone, we invite you to give and share.

We are deeply grateful for every single dollar entrusted to this mission.

As we close out this year and prepare to welcome a new one, our hearts are full of gratitude. To every family who has trusted us, every friend who has supported us, and every community member who has stood beside us—you have made our mission possible.

Your generosity, your prayers, and your continued support allow us to care for the ones you love so deeply. It is a privilege we do not take lightly. Every meal shared, every hand held, every moment of comfort offered is made possible because of you.

Tonight, as we reflect on the year behind us, we honor the lives we’ve served, the families we’ve embraced, and the sacred moments we’ve been blessed to witness. And we look forward to the year ahead with hope, purpose, and a renewed commitment to serving with compassion, dignity, and love.

From all of us at The Joseph House, thank you for being part of our family and our mission.

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
— Isaiah 9:6

From all of us at The Joseph House, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
May your day be filled with the love of family and friends, the joy of celebration, and the peace that comes from knowing the true reason for the season.

As we reflect on the precious gift of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the hope, light, and everlasting promise He brings into our lives. Today, may your hearts be full, your spirits lifted, and your memories rich with moments that will last a lifetime.

Merry Christmas, and may God bless you abundantly!

✨ Merry Christmas Eve from The Joseph House! ✨

As we prepare to gather with loved ones this evening, may we pause to remember the true meaning of Christmas — the gift of Jesus Christ, whose birth brings hope, peace, and salvation to the world.

From our Joseph House family to yours, we pray your Christmas is filled with joy, love, and the deep, lasting peace that only He can bring.
May your hearts be full, your homes warm, and your spirits richly blessed.

Merry Christmas Eve, and may God’s light shine brightly over you and your family.
