Western North Carolina Hurricane Helen Rebuild
We are making great strides in WNC but there is still much to do. To date we have completed 333 rebuild projects, have an additional 366 in progress, and have received a total of 1204 requests to date.
We have been at capacity at our West NC Baptist On Mission rebuild centers this summer, but beginning the second week of August space is available. Volunteer numbers are good in August - October, but there is space so please encourage teams to register as soon as they know they want to serve. They should register as a team and not individually. This registration link is:

2025 Appalachian
Christmas Outreach Backpack Ministry
Goal: 24,000 Filled Backpacks
Collection Date: Nov. 1st
Website: https://baptistsonmission.org/Appalachian-Christmas-Outreach
2025 Appalachian Christmas Outreach is a ministry of Baptists on Mission, which seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people living in the Appalachian Mountains. We encourage churches to begin collecting and filling the packs early – and throughout the year. What if each of our churches put together at least one backpack? That would be 28 more children who would be blessed and receive a gospel presentation!
For more information about the specific things needed in the backpacks and age grouping, please go to the website at: https://baptistsonmission.org/Appalachian-Christmas-Outreach . If you have questions, you can talk with our Associational Appalachian Christmas Outreach Leader, Polly Alexander, at Tom.polly.alexander@gmail.com, Phone (704) 475-1390, or David at the ABA.
