Appalachian Christmas Outreach
Collection Date: Saturday, November 1, 2025
The Appalachian Coalfields Ministry, sponsored by Baptist on Mission, seeks to meet physical and spiritual needs of people living in the Appalachian Area. Working with scores of ministry centers and small churches in five Appalachian states, we help mobilize volunteers and resources to meet needs. One of the greatest ministry needs in this area occurs around Christmastime. Baptist On Mission is calling on churches statewide to respond to this need through Appalachian Christmas Outreach 2025. The goal is to collect 24,000 backpacks of items to be distributed to Appalachian children in areas of need in late November and December 2025.
The statewide collection date is Saturday, November 1. Collection areas will be set up across the state for churches to bring their backpacks.
