Today, we share bittersweet news about The Joy Room Chicago. Our hearts are heavy as we announce the closure of our current location on September 24th. We've poured our souls into this space, and the memories we've created together will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

But as one chapter closes, another one opens, and this one is filled with hope and promise. The Joy Room is on the path to an incredible transformation, and we need your support more than ever.

Our Journey Forward
We're excited to announce that The Joy Room is evolving into a workers-owned cooperative, with a new space soon to open on the vibrant Southside of Chicago. This is a dream we've nurtured, and with your help, it's becoming a reality.

❤️ Your Support Matters ❤️
We're on a mission to raise $20,000 to cover moving expenses, outstanding debts, and create a strong foundation for our cooperative. Your support, whether through donations, connections, or sharing information, brings us one step closer to our goal.
