Wanda Kidd, in partnership with CBFNC is coordinating the WNC summer feeding program during July.
- We have 11 church sites that will distribute food to people from Spruce Pine to Canton and Hendersonville. Each site will identify 10 families with children who are expected to experience food insecurity this summer.
- The funds for purchasing the food boxes are provided by CBF Global and funds donated to CBFNC for disaster response.
- The Raleigh Baptist Association purchased backpacks for the children to have extra snacks and use during the school year.
- Everything will be packed here at Mars Hill Baptist Church and distributed to the sites from here.
Wanda will share more information soon and you can get a copy of the food packing list from Wanda or the church office.

- The Think step is the devotional thought by the week’s writer.
- The Pray step is the start of a prayer that you can expand into your own conversation with God.
