Village Chapel Outreach

Pet Food Drive

The Village Chapel outreach team is conducting an ongoing pet food drive to support Brunswick County families in need. All donations are distributed through Brunswick County Food Pantries and Meals on Wheels routes. New, unopened pet food donations can be dropped off at Salty Paws BHI near the Maritime Market when the store is open. Please do not leave donations outside the front door when the store is closed. Donations can be made directly on the Paws Pantry website HERE, where you can make a monetary donation or purchase food directly from Amazon or Chewy for Paws Pantry. Let's help our local Brunswick County pets in need!

In need of, or know someone in need of,

support on BHI? 

The Village Chapel is here to help — for those who might need help with meals,

in-person visits or other types of support, due to an injury, family emergency or for any other reason, please reach out to Christine Osborne, who heads up the Meals Committee for the Village Chapel under our Outreach Team. If more than meals are needed, Christine can coordinate with other Village Chapel committees to see what support they might be able to offer. All requests for support will be kept confidential. Christine can be reached at 919-868-0643 or via email at christine.osborne8@gmail.com.
