Donate On Behalf Of An Individual Or Team

Mt. Gilead Baptist Church completely supports the efforts of the Foundation of Hope. Our Christian belief is built on a foundation of Hope. We hope and expect that we will receive benefits for promises given. As Christians, we are instructed in humility to value others above ourselves not looking to our own interests but to the interest of others. Mental Illness knows no favorites. We are all subject to the causes of mental illness and we believe we are all called to help those who suffer.
Mt. Gilead Baptist Church started a fundraising team in 2015. The team captain, Jenny Quesenberry, had already been raising money for the Walk for Hope since 2010.

The Walk for Hope is one of the main events for the Foundation of Hope (FOH). All of the money raised annually by the FOH is given out as grant money to researchers in the UNC Psychiatry Department. These grants allow researchers to start up new projects in an effort to learn more about mental illness and discover new medications or therapies. Grant money is also given to local mental health initiatives.

It is truly inspiring to see hope in the faces of people when they first learn about the FOH. The members of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church believe in spreading this feeling of hope while spreading the hope of the Gospel.
