Our signature activity to bring joy to adults at the holiday time is the JoyCatchers Tree Trim begun in 2006. Each person decorates a tree to be given to someone less fortunate.

In 2020 when people could not gather due to Covid, Individual Tree Kits were created and given to individuals so they could make their own trees.

Both activities are now part of the JoyCatchers mission. Many of these Tree Trim activities repeat every year.

JoyCatchers Annual Tree Trim Since 2006, friends, families, co-workers gather to decorate trees, selecting from hundreds of decorations paid for with monetary donations and contributions from caring individuals.
