Giving Tuesday (and Giving Every Day)

Help Us Bring Hope, Warmth, and Dignity to Our Friends on the Streets

Today is Giving Tuesday—and here at Josh’s Heart, we believe in Giving Every Day. Every act of kindness, big or small, helps us continue showing up for our friends on the streets with compassion and love.

Your Giving Tuesday (and everyday) support goes directly toward the work that matters most:

🎒 Blessing Backpacks

We purchase backpacks and essential items—grooming supplies, warm gear, snacks, and handwritten notes of encouragement. These simple gifts remind our friends that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

🧥 Christmas Coats & Gifts

Your donations help us buy new heavy coats as Christmas presents, along with blankets, tarps, and stockings filled with goodies. These items bring warmth and comfort during the coldest winter nights.

🤝 Homeless Connect

Your generosity also helps us host the Homeless Connect, a day filled with essential services, resources, and community support for our unhoused neighbors.

If Josh’s Heart has touched you—or if you believe in the power of giving any day of the year—we’d be grateful for your support.

Thank you for helping us carry Josh’s compassion forward and for giving hope today—and every day.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors, our incredible volunteers who gave their time on both Friday and Saturday, and the talented performers who kept spirits high throughout the day. We also extend our gratitude to our dedicated Resource Partners listed HERE.

Most importantly, thank you to our Guests—the heart of this event—who braved the 104° heat to join us. This day was for you, and because of you, it was unforgettable.

Our Mission is Two-Fold:

We desire to bring hope, love, and help to those afflicted by addiction and homelessness. In a world where those suffering can feel invisible, we have made it our mission to let them know that they matter.

“You Matter!”

We want to bring awareness to our community that everyone has a story, everyone matters, and tragic circumstances can happen to anyone. Josh’s Heart is for him. We created Josh’s Heart, Inc. to help others who are homeless and addicted because that was his heart, Josh’s Heart.

Josh Was Always a Sweet-Hearted, Sensitive Boy

Josh was a sensitive soul, who struggled with insecurities his whole life. He battled with low self-esteem, mild learning disabilities, and depression. He had a heart for the homeless and literally would cry at times when he saw them. In his teenage years, he tried alcohol, along with many others, and unfortunately this became his way to feel better. Alcohol first became his coping mechanism but quickly turned into an addiction.
