Welcome to Jeeps For Joy!

  • This forum will be the new consolidated location for all things JFJ! We will be posting all Events, Volunteer Opportunities, etc up here. So make sure you check in often to see what is going on as we make the transition from the Annual Toy Drive (around Christmas time) to a year-round organization.

    Make sure to check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and on the Web. You can also contact us at anytime by sending a PM to Keith.eric or Turtle or shooting an e-mail to info@jeepsforjoy.org.

    Below is a little bit of history:

    Jeeps For Joy is the charity offshoot of the Delaware Jeep Association. We are dedicated to helping Delaware's children. Currently we are providing volunteer assistance to the staff and families at the Ronald McDonald house. Our mission is to acquire donations, and lend a helping hand to make the guests at Ronald McDonald House feel as close to home as possible. ALL are invited to participate in our mission by volunteering time, money, and/or supporting our scheduled events.


    The event started in 2001 as "The Matthew Allen Memorial Toy Run" among members of the Delaware Jeep Association (DeJA), before our club was even incorporated. Matthew Allen had passed away from Leukemia in March of that year. After some discussion, we decided to see if we could get area Jeep dealers to help us collect donations for the A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, where Matthew had received treatment. Our goal was to help these children, and their families, to have the happiest Holiday Season they could, during this emotionally and financially stressful time. That first year, we had only 15 Jeeps in attendance, and just over 100 donations. Bob Allen, Matthews father, bought a Jeep soon after this first event and joined our club. Since that first event in 2001, Jeeps for Joy has donated close to 10,000 toys and items to both the Nemours/ A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children and Children’s Choice Foster Care.


    In late 2012, Jeeps For Joy has made the decision to partner with the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware which provides support to the families of children receiving medical care in the state.
