Are you looking for a meaningful outlet?

Joyful moments aren’t just fun and games. Chemicals are released in the brain when happy happens; and those chemicals boost the immune system, fight stress and pain, and promote a healthier lifestyle.

Let’s lift our lonely, let’s lift our treasured seniors, and let’s lift our amazing community.

All my dad, John, wanted to do is sink his teeth in a George’s hamburger, visit his college stomping grounds, go to his favorite church, and show off his favorite part of his hometown. 

We don’t live in Iowa City and knowing there are amazing people like thinkJOY stepping in where we can’t is a gift to the entire family. When we know dad is happy, we are happy!
