Our Story

From Joy to Jubilation Outreach was founded by Diane E. Johnson, whose life journey includes decades of walking through depression, fear, and isolation.  Through her healing journey, she discovered something powerful — that sometimes what people need most is not advice or solutions, but connection, lightness, and a reason to smile again.

This outreach was born from that realization.  It is not built on theory, but on lived experience and a deep desire to create a space where others can feel seen, welcomed, and uplifted.

To provide all adults age 18 and older in any stage of life, with free, welcoming opportunities to step away from daily responsibilities in order to enjoy hands-on activities while experiencing relaxation, connection, and joy in a comfortable, pressure-free social environment. 

Our foundation is rooted in faith and the belief that even in life’s most difficult seasons, joy and hope are still possible.

While faith inspires what we do, everyone is welcome—no matter where they are on their journey.

We believe something simple, yet meaningful:

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with talking.
Sometimes it begins with being around others, sharing a moment, and remembering what joy feels like.

Tired of the same routine?  Looking for something fun?  Come on your own or bring a friend.  You will be warmly welcomed!   

Your support helps us continue creating spaces where individuals can experience joy, connection, and hope.
