Hurricane relief

Hurricane Florence is bringing our community together! 

The outpouring of support from our neighbors has been overwhelming!  We continue to pray and love our neighbors with you! We are still in need of volunteers to help with the relief efforts. To better organize our efforts, the warehouse at 921 Princess Street will be open Mondays and Wednesdays, 11am-1PM until Christmas. We will be accepting donations and volunteer help to unload, sort, and repackage donations during these times.  Please sign up to help.
