Splashes of Joy, Inc. is a Montana-based, nonprofit organization that provides gifts and services to ill or homebound people to help rekindle their internal joy that may have been temporarily lost in the maze of illness or age.
Volunteers provide meals, prayer support, house cleaning, home repair and help with pets, as requested. Local vendors donate a variety of products ranging from landscaping materials, flowers and balloons to massages, manicures and haircuts. Splashes of Joy also provides a free library of uplifting DVDs and CDs for recipients, as well as a caretaker support group for those sustaining them.
Splashes of Joy volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds. The only requirement to be a volunteer is the desire and willingness to help those in need. Volunteers do not try to change, convert or evangelize the recipients, but simply remind them:
- They are not alone.
- They are loved.
- God is bigger than cancer and any illness.
Recipients:
- Those living with, dying of and being healed of cancer, as well as his or her spouse or primary caregiver.
- Homebound seniors, as well as his or her spouse or primary caregiver.
- Homebound persons living with long-term illness and his or her spouse or primary caregiver.
