JOY Community Center & Soup Kitchen

10/25/2026

After 20 long months of planning, building, stocking and getting volunteers on board, Dr. Dennis Paul Ross and JOY can finally say it's HERE.
Next Sunday from 2-4pm we'd like to invite those of you interested in seeing and being a part of our team to come tour our facility at JOY Community Center, 700 Albemarle St in Greenville.
This clinic is our attempt to get those in pain out of it so that they can eat and to stop the potential other medical problems associated with oral problems.
This facility is one of a kind where it will be THE FIRST, brick & mortar FREE dental clinic in the State.
Come see our site. Ask questions. Make a donation. Sign up to help.

Good Evening Everyone.
We got up with Tidal Wave Car Wash over on Arlington and purchased 100 of these $30 car wash coupons.
Good news for you is we are selling them for $10 a piece.
Just think. These can be gifted to Teachers, Employees, Friends and Family. They are good until the end of September 2027.
Let me know if you'd like 1 or a few and we'll arrange pickup points to grab them. I'll have some at Boston South Thursday-Saturday if you are over that way.
ALL proceeds stay at JOY.

We had our washing machine go down a few days ago and right now a lot of focus has been on getting the Dental Clinic up.
Davis Williams over at stepped up to let us know that he would take care of it for us. After seeing our old washer wasn't worth fixing he decided to DONATE, deliver and install us a brand new machine today.
Can't thank you enough Davis. We truly appreciate you.
Huge Thank you goes out to Nancy Williams and the delivery crew Tim and Ty.

Good Afternoon Everyone.
Here's a little post about volunteers.
First. To all of you who do we can't Thank you enough.
Now. Over the past few weeks we've had 7 No Call/No Shows. That really hinders our service so if you sign up, put it in your calendar and please keep your commitment.
For those of you looking to volunteer. There is only ONE way to get on the schedule. I'll ask you to call 252-561-7519 and ask for Shirley between 8-10am. She handles the volunteers and can get you on the schedule.
Thank you all very much.
Stay cool.
