Outreach asks, before you drop off items in the red bins…
To please be mindful of what the church is currently collecting for our agency partners. We will always accept non-perishable food items for Wake Relief and Urban Ministries. What we will no longer accept is clothing unless specifically requested, like coats, hats and gloves in November and December. If you have clothing to donate, please take directly to one of the following agencies: Dorcas, Dress for Success, Goodwill, Healing Transitions for Men & Women, Interact, Note in the Pocket, or Women’s Center of Wake County.
Thank you for your generosity and consideration by only donating items requested.

Relief Efforts – Message from Sam Stewart
We all witnessed the devastation of Hurricane Helene in the western part of our state last year. While the mountain communities are strong, they still need our help. Most of the towns and cities have plenty of food, water, and winter clothing to get them through the coming months, but rebuilding efforts are already underway and there is a huge need for volunteers.
If you feel the call to action, or you would like to get involved and volunteer your time and efforts, we would love for you to join us! Listed below are the upcoming workdays in the mountains. We are asking for any and all volunteers, regardless of age or skill level, who would like to come help. There are projects for everyone, and any amount of time and effort will make a huge impact for the folks who are still rebuilding their homes and their lives.
Work Dates: June 7
Thank you to the folks who have reached out to Sam Stewart expressing an interested in volunteering. They will continue to make trips to Burnsville, NC, in Yancey County to help with the rebuilding efforts. Travel packets will be released the week before the trips, containing the meet up points, the location(s) of the work site, and additional details on what tools and clothing is recommended. Please contact Sam Steward at Sam.stewart2614@gmail.com if you are interested, with “Yancey County Work Weekend” in the subject line of the email.
