OUR MINISTRIES
It’s with gratitude that we are able to help our neighbors in partnership with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The market operates on the second Monday of each month. We have served as many as 700 people at one of these events and our volunteers are key to keeping it going.
