Walk For Your Neighbor

Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry is busy planning our Walk for Your Neighbor fundraising event for this year. We are proud to say that in 2022, Walk for Your Neighbor raised a record-breaking $84,599.01 which accounted for 12.7% of our total funding for the year. With the growing needs of our neighbors, we hope that we can surpass that amount for 2023! 

The money raised through Walk for Your Neighbor goes to all the good neighboring that SVCM does alongside our friends in the Swannanoa Valley. This ranges from providing the essentials like clothing and food to giving financial relief toward living expenses like rent, electricity, and water. We work to meet the medical needs of our community through gas vouchers, contributing to medical and dental bills, and covering the cost of eye exams, glasses, and prescriptions. 

Beyond this, SVCM values equipping our neighbors with the tools they need to move beyond just surviving to thriving and wholeness. This happens through our Hope for Tomorrow Transitional Housing Program, educational scholarships, and a partnership with the Black Mountain Counseling Center to make mental health care more accessible to our community. This year our ministry will donate 5% of the total funds raised to Black Mountain Counseling Center and 5% to Food Connection .
