Clothes Closet: A Partnership with Salvation Army
Beginning with Asheville First Sunday, April 28, and continuing through all of May, we are asking everyone to clean out their closets and bring any unwanted clothing to the church. Those items needed for our own Clothes Closet ministry will stay at First Baptist. All the other items will be given to the Salvation Army and sold through their Family Store Ministry. Even items that are not suitable for the store will be baled and sold by the pound for rags. By bringing your unwanted clothing, you will be helping two ministries — our own Clothes Closet and the Salvation Army. Drop off your donations in the church gameroom. Contact

Hope to Home Team Ministry
Hope to Home Team Ministry would like to form a new team as part of a DSS pilot program for three young adults, ages of 18-24, who have come out of the foster care system. These young adults will be “adopted” by the newly formed Hope to Home team for a year. Because 65% of the Homeward Bound clients were in foster care at some point, this program will help prevent these young folks from becoming homeless down the road. Consider being part of the solution by helping a young person achieve stability and independence. We need a minimum of 10 people to be part of this newly formed team. If interested or have questions, please contact
