The Joy Drop Collective is a faith-based organization working to connect area churches, community partners, public agencies, and at-risk housing complexes in Illinois’ Cook and Lake counties to fight food insecurity and poverty. Our mission is to turn at-risk neighborhoods into thriving communities through God’s provision of local partnerships. The JDC does this by helping faith-based organizations partner with local law enforcement and at-risk residential housing complexes to fight food insecurity in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, along the Lake and Cook county border.  We empower our church and community partners to feed, have fellowship, and minister to neighbors in extreme need.
