Joy Junction is a place of refuge to those who have been forced into the streets. As many as 300 women, children and families count on us each day for food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and an array of other services. While Joy Junction is the largest homeless shelter in New Mexico, Joy Junction is much more than a homeless shelter. We are a Gospel Rescue Mission that is committed to restoring precious lives which have been forgotten and abandoned by society.

Joy Junction is a full-service human reclamation plant that opens its doors to virtually anyone who desires help, ministering to the needs of the body, soul and spirit. We provide hope for the hopeless, and a hand-up to teach the skills necessary to allow our residents to return to employment and mainstream society.

For some twenty-three years we have been leading our residents through recovery and a return to the mainstream. Our Life Recovery Program, which is also known as C. I. P. P. (Christ in Power Program), has taken many hundreds of our residents through the recovery process and introduced them in a personal way to Jesus their Savior. When ready, those who have successfully completed the CIPP program are provided further opportunities to enhance their likelihood of successfully returning to the mainstream, and becoming a contributing member of society.

Joy Junction does not receive any government funding, and as a donor you can help us to provide a hand up to those in need. As a volunteer, you can directly help us to minister to those in need. We also accept donations of food, clothing, furniture, appliances, bedding, linens, household items such as bleach, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. Some of these items are used in our ministry to the homeless and others are sold at our Thrift Store, which in addition to serving as a training ground for some of those on our recovery program, also helps with shelter operating costs. Won't you click the appropriate link to help us continue to provide a hand up to those in need?

Thank you for making a difference.
