WE’RE WALKING TO FIGHT HUNGER!
First Baptist Joins Community Walk

We’re excited to walk with the faith communities of Asheville & Buncombe County. Indeed, we will be joining cities all around our country. Even communities all around the world are joining this walk. Participating with the World Council of Churches’ Church World Service, we will raise funds to fight hunger in 35 countries around the world, as well as our own local community.

4th Thursday of every month a group of Senior Adults gather at Manna Foodbank from 1:00-3:00 p.m. to sort and pack food. Join us for a time of fun and fellowship. Contact Ed Graham to learn more.
