5th Sunday Food Drive

Helping others keep food on their shelves

Each fifth Sunday, Soapstone comes together to make a big difference in our community by helping fill the shelves at North Raleigh Ministries. Your donations go directly to local families who are facing food insecurity — a simple act that brings hope and nourishment to our neighbors.

We invite you to bring non-perishable food items to the collection carts in the Narthex or the Norwood foyer on any 5th Sunday. Every can, box, and jar adds up to a meaningful impact!
