Warmth for Wake
The Soapstone United Methodist Men invite all Soapstone Men and Women to participate in a Warmth for Wake Service event in January every year.
Warmth for Wake is a seasonal energy assistance outreach program that is sponsored by Wake County Health & Human Services. The goal of the program is to provide fuel to low-income residents of Wake County during the coldest winter months. About a dozen of our congregation served at Everett Farm to chop and haul wood for those in need.
