Founded in 2009 by Joe Stanley of Stanley Law Offices and Angela Moonan, Music for the Mission was created with one simple but powerful goal: helping the homeless and hungry throughout Central New York. What began as a humble local effort has grown into a meaningful community-driven organization that brings people together through the power of music and compassion.
Over the years, countless musicians, supporters, volunteers, and community members have joined in the mission, helping shape Music for the Mission into the impactful organization it is today. Through benefit concerts, fundraising events, and community partnerships, the organization has helped provide food, support, and hope to individuals and families facing difficult times across the region.
Music for the Mission believes that music has a unique ability to unite people from all walks of life. That communal spirit creates the perfect partnership with local nonprofits and outreach organizations dedicated to serving those without adequate food or shelter. By combining entertainment with purpose, Music for the Mission has created events that are not only successful, but deeply rewarding for everyone involved.
Whether you are a musician looking to perform, a volunteer wanting to help, or someone simply looking to support a meaningful cause, Music for the Mission welcomes you to be part of the journey. Together, through music and community, lives can continue to be changed across Central New York.
