THE FBC MISSION TEAM is challenging the FBCDC church community to give $7,500 to help local DC communities that have been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mission Team will match these gifts with an additional $7,500 for a total of $15,000. Your gifts will enable FBC to support each of these three organizations with a $5,000 gift:
• S.O.M.E. (So Others Might Eat): an interfaith, community-based organization that exists to help people in our nation’s capital experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty.
• N STREET VIILLAGE: a women’s empowerment and recovery community founded by Luther Place Memorial Church, just blocks from First Baptist.
• The LATIN AMERICAN YOUTH CENTER which serves over 4,000 Youth and Families in the DC area. LAYC fieldworkers continue to deliver meals and groceries school supplies (including laptops for students) and other resources families need to survive during this time.
As of May 26, we are just $1,000 away from our congregational goal! Help us cross the finish line by giving online (below) or mailing a check to the church with DC COVID-19 RELIEF written in the memo line.
