One of the local ministries that we love to support is Peacemakers of Rocky Mount. Their mission is to partner with our neighbors in South Rocky Mount and surrounding areas by providing exceptional educational opportunities as they pursue self-sustainability and family flourishing. In doing so, they strive to tangibly demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ in such a way that it results ultimately in the complete restoration of the community and its people.
While Peacemaker does many things to better the lives of those in South Rocky Mount, their two main focuses are Freedom School and Southside Academy. Both have had a huge impact in improving the educational experience for students who attend. Students who attend have improved reading comprehension and access to one-on-one assistance with their unique learning needs.
Peacemakers fall fundraiser is coming up on October 3, 2024. If you are interested in attending the “Picnic for Peacemakers” reserve your seat online at HOME - Peacemakers of Rocky Mount (rockymountpeacemakers.org) or call 252-212-5044.
As you look ahead to Christmas you might also consider participating in their annual Toy Store which is one of our personal favorite holiday events!!!! This project allows low income families to come and shop for gifts for their family members. You can volunteer in person which is so festive and rewarding!! For our readers who prefer to shop, you can buy toys and other items and donate them to be sold in the Toy Store. For more information and to sign-up to volunteer just visit their website Peacemakers of Rocky Mount - CHRISTMAS TOY STORE (rockymountpeacemakers.org).
