Supporting the Diocese of Western North Carolina

support of our neighbors in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North
Carolina, whose need is critical. The Diocese is currently directing its support to Spruce Pine, NC where they have the needs listed below. These can be dropped off at Christ Church. Contact Kevin Mertens with any questions.
COLD WEATHER ITEMS
- Small Generators
- Space Heaters
- Heavy-Duty Extension Cords*
- Children’s Coats
- Children’s Socks
- Men’s Boots
- Men’s Socks (Wool or Wool-Blend)
