What is your biggest need?

 

As an organization, we can always use financial contributions to meet the needs of upcoming events. Beyond that, we need volunteer team members for practical services like seeking donations, donations of prom attire,  helping wrap Christmas gifts and delivering.

 

We also need team members to engage their social/business network to raise awareness of Joyful Hearts, what we do, who we serve and donation opportunities. You can stay updated on urgent goods needed which we keep updated on our Wishlist.

Whom do you serve?

 

Anyone of any age, gender, ethnicity or religious background. We believe that when a child/adult has special needs the entire family has special needs so we pull our resources together to help not only the child/adult with special needs but also parents and siblings of those families as well.

Can someone from Joyful Hearts come and speak to my business or community group?

 

Yes, please contact Founder Sherry Peele       speele@joyfulheartsnc.org
