Why We Run

Joy Meadows is a foster care community serving children and families in Kansas City and beyond. We provide housing, therapy, resources, and community support so children impacted by foster care can find stability, healing, and joy.

Children in foster care often experience instability, trauma, and isolation. Caregivers can feel overwhelmed and alone.

The Joy Run exists to remind families that they are not alone—and to help fund practical, trauma-informed support that leads to real healing for voiceless children.

When the community shows up together, foster care changes.
