Friends of Children
Is your church looking for a local, hands-on mission opportunity for all ages?
Friends of Children Workdays offer a meaningful way to serve children, families, and aging adults across North Carolina — right here in your own state.
Serving Where the Mission Is Already Happening
At Baptist Children’s Homes, we believe the Church is called not only to care — but to show up.
Friends of Children (FOC) Workdays invite churches, families, and individuals to step onto the mission field for a day. Through practical projects and shared fellowship, Friends of Children directly support the children and adults served in our ministries.
This is more than yard work or facility projects. It is an opportunity to model Christ’s love through tangible service.
When you serve, you encourage staff, strengthen campuses, and help create environments where healing and hope can flourish.
