We all have unique talents to help in any common goal.  We need you!  If you could help us with obtaining donations for our Chinese Auction, selling tickets, social media, making phone calls, printing, working at the event, we would be ever so grateful!  Please contact Jeanine 516.375.7571 or Joyfulcharities@yahoo.com.

Mission & Vision

We have a simple, but robust mission: to help people in need. We do that by focusing on community-based efforts including education, awareness, and financial aid. We want to make a difference and empower our students to give back.

We have been incredibly fortunate in life to never have to experience the difficulties we see in the world every day. I can’t imagine what it’s like to go hungry, no access to education, lose a limb or have a gravely ill child.

Miss Jeanine:  It was actually breast cancer diagnosis that made think more about the world around me suffering, as I was taking such good care of and blessed with so many wonderful people. I wanted to give back in some way and through this prayer, Make A Joyful Noise was born.  As seen in its spiritual  conception- the concert consists of the two main choirs performing, guests performers and most important, a candle lighting ceremony/prayer service for the families affected within the designated charity.

With that desire in our hearts, we preside over Have A Heart & Make Joyful Noise concert events.  We’re all looking to make a difference in our world and I believe that by focusing on communities, we’re going to make the most substantial impact. We also believe it extremely important to teach students in today's world to give back.  We are so privileged to have our venue at Central Islip HS since 2005.  The Central Islip community has been super supportive.  Make Joyful Noise charities believes the world is made up of various and  important social connections and if you foster them positively, they’ll pay huge dividends - in love, care, and a better world.
