After being cancelled last year due to Helene, our annual fundraiser Walk For Your Neighbor is BACK! Please join us on Sunday, October 26 at First Baptist Church of Swannanoa for a walk and block party! The walk will start at 2pm, with the block party continuing until 5pm.
Our valley is still recovering and needs remain high. All donations from the Walk will go to support our Swannanoa Valley neighbors! 90% of proceeds will go to SVCM’s General Ministry Fund, and 10% will go to our local nonprofit partners Swannanoa Communities Together.
The more we raise through this walk, the more we can tangibly share the love of Christ with neighbors in need through food, clothing, baby supplies, healthcare, home repairs, and so much more! We hope you’ll give generously, lace up those sneakers, and come walk with us!
Fun things happening at this year’s walk & block party:
Volunteers from Freestone Properties will be grilling hot dogs for all participants (food ticket included with registration)!
Bevvy will be offering a menu of flavored sodas (beverage ticket included with registration)!
Morning Explorers Preschool of Black Mountain will be providing engaging children’s activities!
David Cody, a local singer-songwriter from Swannanoa, will be providing live music!
SVCM’s programs and other local partners will be tabling at the block party, giving you an opportunity to learn about local resources.
Ways you can join the Walk:
If you’d like to come walk with us, please register! Online registration is now closed, but you can still register in person at the walk! Registration is by donation only, but we are encouraging a $20 minimum donation for those who are able. To be cost and environmentally conscious, we will be using last year's t-shirts.
You can also ask family and friends to sponsor your walk using this donation link! Online donations are encouraged.

“Where would this community be without SVCM? I shudder at the mere thought of the answer to that question, which tells me it’s a vital piece of this community, and how I know the Walk for Your Neighbor supports the best kind of neighbor any of us could ever ask for.”
