On Friday September 12th, 2025 Joy Emporium is hosting our 3rd Annual Joy Gala – The Masqued Singer - Live Band Karaoke! Help support programs at our NEW Thrive Center at 14700 Kildare Avenue in Midlothian Illinois. Our Thrive Center currently houses our clothing pantry, furniture pantry, food pantry, community kitchen, counseling offices, computer lab & classrooms. We are currently installing ADA community showers and laundry facilities. We serve as a warming/cooling shelter, as well as host partnering programs such as AA, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Kindness Campaign Free Fresh Markets, as well as sign ups for Rapid Housing, WIC, and CEDA programs. We offer free educational events, classes and clubs throughout the year to promote positive mental health and personal growth in the community. We are creating a ‘Second Home’ for members of our community to connect and take advantage of local support. We invite you to become a sponsor, guest and donor!
