The HOPE Worldwide International Day of Giving on Nov. 29th is a day on which individuals around the world are coming together to raise money in all kinds of ways so that together we can provide help for  international needs.

The money raised from the International Day of Giving goes specifically towards HOPE worldwide, an international charity that changes lives by harnessing the compassion and commitment of dedicated staff and volunteers to deliver sustainable, high-impact, community-based services to the poor and needy.

If you would like to participate, we will have boxes for monetary donations. 

Also we will have the opportunity to give locally to the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families is a safe, supportive, Christian environment for children who are dependent, neglected, abused, homeless or who otherwise cannot live with their families. The Home is a private, not-for-profit organization affiliated with the Presbytery of Western North Carolina and the Presbyterian Church (USA). The mission of Black Mountain Home is to glorify God by caring for children and families.
