In 2026, FNBSC will once again serve as “Buddies” for the Summerville Miracle League. The goal of the Summerville Miracle League is to enhance the lives of people with special needs, through the national pastime of baseball. Our staff is so blessed by spending time with these “special” people and encouraging them in a positive manner.
FNBSC staff enjoys participating in Dorchester’s Habitat for Humanity’s Home Builds. Working under the guidance of construction professionals and with future Habitat homeowners. For more information, visit www.dorchesterhabitat.org
FNBSC has partnered with the Gateway Community Church’s Hunger Helpers Food Distribution.
In March of 2026 FNBSC raised funds and participated in 21st Annual Water Mission’s Walk for Water. 2.1 billion people lack access to safe water. Millions of women and children walk more than three miles to collect water for their families every day. Often, this water is not safe to drink, resulting in illness and even death. During this unique event volunteers walked in the shoes of our global neighbors to raise awareness and funds to fight the global water crisis.
