Joshua 1:9 Mission is a 501C3 registered in Marseilles. It exists to provide encouragement via handmade cards and packages mailed to cancer patients during their treatment.
Founder and Executive Director Tia Warmack launched the organization after her mom died following pancreatic cancer.
Warmack is hoping to raise at least $2,000 at the fundraiser and the organization plans to use the money to expand.
