Joyful Treats Community Development Corporation (JTCDC) is a minority owned national tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization based in Michigan, USA. We serve a diverse segment of the population who are the most vulnerable in our society as well as the most adversely impacted by the effects of various consequences present within our community.
Our initiatives prioritize social justice in the foods and hospitality industry. We create pathways to secure financial empowerment for entrepreneurs who are between 15 and 25, people who identify as low income, people of color, and people who have been historically and systematically excluded.
Joyful Treats' impact in food distributions totals over 36K meals annually. Align with us today in our fight against hunger and disparities. Your donation helps us continue our efforts towards food justice for our most vulnerable community members. Thank you.
