At Joy Fields for Kids, we envision a world where every individual has access to basic necessities and the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. We strive to create a community where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.
Our values are at the core of everything we do. We believe in compassion, empathy, and the power of community. We are committed to treating every individual we serve with dignity and respect, and working together to create a better world.
Joy Fields for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2012 and officially established in 2015. We provide food, clothing, and essential resources for children and families who are most vulnerable, locally and abroad. Our mission is rooted in compassion, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.
We proudly partner with the State of Illinois and the Circuit Court of Cook County to support non-violent, court-involved individuals through our community service program.
Beyond our ongoing outreach in Chicago, our programs have touched lives across borders, from delivering Christmas gifts to children at an orphanage in Cancún, Mexico, to supporting village families in the Dominican Republic.
In 2025, we hosted the Joyful Beginnings Baby Shower, an elegant and empowering celebration created for underserved young mothers in Chicago. Each mom received a 3-in-1 crib and 3-in-1 stroller, ensuring that her essential needs were covered as she stepped into motherhood. These foundational gifts provided stability, comfort, and confidence, allowing each mother to focus on nurturing her child and building a bright, hopeful future.
