The Crossnore School 
The Crossnore School is a non-profit residential foster care home serving North Carolina children in crisis.  Located in Crossnore, NC, the School is nestled on 85-acres in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains where staff provide a Christian sanctuary of hope and healing for children. We are so thankful for the opportunity to support this fine organization and the children they serve. 
Feeding Avery Families
Feeding Avery Families (FAF) is a non-profit Christian organization in Avery County NC dedicated to eliminating hunger by any means possible including monetary donations, volunteerism, or food donations. We serve the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain towns of Newland, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Crossnore and Elk Park – providing enough food for 460,000 meals in 2019! 
YoungLife
Young Life is a Christian ministry that reaches out to middle school, high school, and college students in all 50 of the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.  We are grateful to provide space for High Country Young Life as they go to kids, build bridges of authentic friendship, and introduce them to Jesus Christ.  
Kingdom Kids Christian Preschool
Kingdom Kids Daycare, a special mission of Emmanuel Baptist Church, is located on the lower level of the Newland Presbyterian Church building. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide a safe place for these sweet children to learn and grow. 
Habitat for Humanity
We love working with Habitat. And we receive joy from participating in a number of ways: providing food to workers, swinging hammers, and offering funds. All of these are great ways we hope to contribute to Habitat’s mission of “Seeking to put God’s love into action…bring[ing] people together to build homes, communities and hope.” 
The Y
The Williams YMCA of Avery County has a mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a health mind, body, and spirit for all. We are grateful for the ways that our local Y serves children, elderly populations, and those facing various health challenges. We are grateful to share in their Christian mission to our community.
