The Good Neighbor Ministry (GNM) is a hunger ministry that meets every Saturday morning for the purpose of building community relations and goodwill. Volunteers come together in the parking lot of the Alston-Massenburg Center at 398 N. Taylor Street, Wake Forest to serve area residents. The GNM was the dream made reality of a youth from WFBC who attended a mission trip to New York in the summer of 2005 who witnessed the difference the feeding bus ministry made on the streets of New York and quickly made the correlation to see what a difference such a ministry could make in the community back home. . If you have a couple of hours on a Saturday morning to offer food and a smile to others, this ministry is for you. Contact Stacy Barrington for information on how to serve with GNM.
At the WFBC Community Connections Garden, our mission is to connect people to their neighbors, the land, and God by using sustainable agriculture to provide fresh, local food for the hungry. We welcome you to become a part of this great opportunity and mission in our community.

Wake Forest Baptist partners with two local groups to meet needs in our community.
ChurchNet is a group of 13 churches in Rolesville, Wake Forest, and Youngsville which provide financial assistance to residents of those areas to help with needs such as utility bills, rent payments, etc. ChurchNet follows a screening process to determine who qualifies for assistance and how much they receive. The majority of benevolence offerings collected through WFBC goes to benefit ChurchNet. The organization is staffed by volunteers, several who are members of WFBC.
