Current Mission Opportunities

Share Warmth and Comfort: Calling All Crafters!

We have a wonderful opportunity to bless cancer patients in Western North Carolina through our love of crafting. The North Carolina Mountain State Fair is seeking volunteers to provide chemo caps, lap quilts, and afghans for those undergoing treatment.

Since 2024, caring individuals in our region have donated nearly 3,000 caps and over 260 lap quilts! Let's join together to add to that number.

How You Can Help:

What to make: Chemo caps, lap quilts, or afghans.

Methods: Items can be sewn, crocheted, or knitted.

Options: You can choose to simply donate your items or enter them into the NC Mountain State Fair for competition.

Distribution: All items will be distributed locally to patients by the Messino Cancer Center.

Whether you are an expert knitter, a passionate quilter, or a beginner looking for a meaningful project, your contribution will bring warmth and comfort to someone in need.

If you or your youth group are interested in participating, please contact Tom Smith for more details or Emily Darnell at emily.darnell@ncagr.gov.

REDBOX Donations needed for WMU!

Every year, FBC supports the REDBOX program for women inmates in our state’s prison system. This year, we are tasked with bringing individually packaged full-size toothbrushes (no multipacks, please.) We will be collecting these through October, and you can return them to the Red bucket by the fireplace outside the sanctuary.
