Joyous Junque

In addition, approximately 70 additional volunteers, primarily from Resurrection Catholic Church, come together to prepare for a large sale of those items in June.

Volunteers share in a spirit of Christian camaraderie as they work with the underlying mission of “giving back” to the community. The efforts area way of thanking God for the blessings bestowed on each and every one of us and sharing our good fortune with those less fortunate.

Joyous Junque is dedicate to raising money to be distributed to local charities and organizations to assist them in assisting those with financial, medical, legal, food, and developmental needs within the Bedford and Franklin County areas.
