Joy to the Burg brings the Central Pennsylvania arts community together to support their neighbors facing homelessness through an annual holiday music album, concert and greeting cards.

Since 2019, Central Pennsylvania artists have rallied to help their neighbors facing homelessness by contributing music for an annual album of Christmas music. The funds helped open a new women's shelter the week of Christmas 2019, and in ensuing years have helped to sustain and grow the women's shelter as well as a men's shelter run by Christian Churches United (CCU). CCU's street outreach staff also work with folks on the street to help them obtain and maintain long-term housing. In 2022, Joy to the Burb expanded to embrace the visual artist, with a set of greeting cards featuring artwork from local artists. Joy to the Burg has grown to also include an annual concert and television special. Joy to the Burg is the gift of art and music to help the homeless!
