Emmanuel Christian Church is set to host the first annual Neighbors in Need Day on Saturday, April 9 from noon until 4 p.m.
Event Coordinator Pamela Teague said she received a vision from God to host the event to help those in need. Food, fun and fellowship headline the big day. The church will also hand out free food and clothes.
“God gave me this idea some years back and I see the need in the community and the church,” said Teague. “I went to the pastor and asked if we could do it and he was excited. Where I saw this being a one day thing, my pastor sees this being even bigger and wants to do it again in the future.”
Real estate agents will be on hand to educate new and existing homeowners on everything from buying a home for the first time to refinancing a mortgage. Even a self-defense demonstration is in the lineup.
Teague said it was important to offer various services throughout to ensure people left with more than just a plate of food.
“We know people are looking for homes and we thought that those who have never purchased a home can get information about that,” said Teague. “I’m excited and ready to see what God is going to do on that day.”

The event will take place from 12-4 p.m. April 9. Emmanuel Christian Church is located on 866 Clark Town Road in Richmond Hill.
