A Not-for-profit Organization
Proudly serving The counties of Morris, Union, Essex and hudson
Mark and Joi Smith founded Joi's Angels in 2005 as a loving shelter for the homeless and disadvantaged, a place where a person of any background who needed help could "get their wings". It has since become a multifaceted charitable non-profit agency that provides basic needs to disadvantaged persons across Essex, Hudson, Morris and Union counties in NJ.
Headquartered in Angel House—the original shelter in East Orange, New Jersey--Mark, Joi, and an army of angels:
-
feed needy and homeless individuals and families throughout northern New Jersey;
-
provide shelter and homeless relief: food and supportive services to men with disabilities, and emergency housing to men in crisis referred by partner agencies;
-
supply life essentials to men, women, and children for the restoration and/or maintenance of dignity and public health;
-
safeguard inner-city teens and young adults by offering a safe space and the opportunity to practice civic engagement through volunteerism and community service; and
-
operate ANGEL SPOT, a 2100 square foot warehouse stocked with donated home furnishings, available to the community at little or no cost.
