The Joshua Project sets aside funds from general donations to provide temporary financial assistance to help families get back on track when they have fallen on hard times. Over the years, we have helped dozens of Schoharie County families with short-term assistance. If you need assistance, we encourage you to contact us.
Joshua Volunteers visit people who could just use a friend to converse with. Volunteers set their own schedule with this program and the number of visits they want to make is variable.
The Joshua Project works with the Schoharie County Office for the Aging to deliver daily meals to people, who live in the Village of Middleburgh, who are in need. Currently we deliver meals to 17 people each weekday. 52 weeks a year.
Throughout the summer, the Joshua Project Volunteers deliver food to needy children in outlying areas of Schoharie County and a portion of southern Albany County.

This program is available beginning in June of each year. Contact us for more information.
The Joshua Project volunteers are coordinated in the Middleburgh Central School, Cobleskill United Methodist Church, Richmondville United Methodist Church, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Central Bridge to provide lunches to children, families with children and elderly during the summer.

The Joshua Project works with local businesses and individuals to coordinate the adoption of families for Christmas. We matched 31 families with donors in 2021 and hope to match more in 2022. Just sign up and we’ll match you with a family and provide information on appropriate gifts and other support.
Every December, The Joshua Project works with Catholic Charities to help make the Christmas for Kids Program a success. In 2021, the program was run at The Fusion Community Church and gave out presents and gift cards to 645 kids in 263 families.
Baskets of traditional Thanksgiving food are delivered to families throughout the Valley on the Sunday before the Holiday. In 2021, working with Catholic Charities, we delivered over 415 baskets to families in need, an increase of 115 baskets from 2020.
PLEASE NOTE: we have reached our annual quota for this program and are no longer accepting applications for Thanksgiving 2022. We are still seeking volunteers to help deliver meals.
