JoyCatchers colorful November Theme Tree is one of remembrance adorned with marigolds, bright colors and iconic figures associated with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This annual holiday honors and celebrates the lives and memory of deceased ancestors and loved ones and is typically celebrated on Nov 1 and Nov 2.
Think of someone you want to honor and celebrate today.
Our Mission
The mission of JoyCatchers is to create and provide joyful gifts and life-enhancing experiences to seniors, veterans and adults experiencing illness or isolation, through hands-on activities, such as the JoyCatchers Holiday Tree Trim and the JoyCatchers Individual Tree Kits.
Who Receives Trees and Kits
Since 2006, JoyCatchers has been bringing joy to adults one holiday tree at a time. These are given to adults including seniors, veterans, people in hospice, adults experiencing Alzheimer’s or cancer, individuals homeless, housed in permanent or transitional housing, living alone, and adults in board and care homes and in assisted living.
How We Do This
At the holiday time, volunteers gather to decorate artificial tabletop size holiday trees. Beginning late Summer volunteers assemble individualized mini tree decorating kits that are given at the holiday time to veterans facilities, among others, for them to decorate their own trees as a social, healing & creative community outreach activity. Throughout the year purchases and preparation of decorations takes place with volunteer and donor assistance.
