Have you or a family member been affected by cancer?
We all know what a devastating disease cancer is for an entire family. Having a friend or family member diagnosed with cancer can stress any relationship.
Many of our neighbors receive a diagnosis, but don’t have the safety net of support to make doctor’s appointments or get to the lab for tests.
The Cancer Network of Hope provides tender loving care to those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
Our staff helps connect people with resources through local doctors and area outreach programs, as well as the Cancer Care Center of Southeast Georgia Health System, the American Cancer Society and the Georgia Cancer Coalition. Volunteers offer a listening ear, a friendly hug, and helpful information.
Through this ministry, FaithWorks seeks to assure any of our neighbors with cancer that they are not alone and our community cares for their well-being.
Have you or a neighbor experienced hardship and/or hunger?
Too many of our neighbors work hard and live paycheck-to-paycheck, to keep their families afloat. When a crisis hits a family, keeping the power on, having food in the pantry and paying essential bills can be an extraordinary challenge.
The Sparrow's Nest ministry offers support for families experiencing such a crisis. Formed more than fifteen years ago as a clearing house for 54 churches, the Sparrows Nest provides food and utility and prescription assistance to help those in crisis in our community. Families and individuals may come once per month for food and hygiene products. Families and individuals may apply for utility assistance once every twelve months.
If you know of someone whose family has been hit by a crisis, the Sparrow’s Nest is here to help them. To receive assistance with a utility bill or prescription, families must provide a bill, a photo ID, and proof that an emergency has happened recently (COVID-19 related emergency, hospitalization, death, accident, fire, etc.) that has disrupted their normal cash flow. Applicants can come to the Sparrow's Nest during food pantry hours to complete an application or apply online. (We are unable to assist with rent or mortgages, but can refer those in need to other programs in the area.)
If you wish to help families in need, FaithWorks accepts donated food items along with personal hygiene products and other essential items at Sparrow's Nest located at 2911 Altama Ave., Brunswick. Please see our food list below.

The Samaria Initiative provides multiple opportunities to tear down the walls that divide us.
When we make the effort to meet people that are different from us and go to places that we normally avoid, we soon discover we are not all that different from one another. We all desire health, happiness, and a future for our children. While we applaud groups that travel and offer ministry in other countries, we also contend that it is sometimes easier to go half way around the world than it is to go across the street.
There are needs all around us. All we need to do is open our eyes and roll up our sleeves.
You see men and women in our community carrying their life’s belongings in shopping bags and back packs walking to get out of the elements or looking for a place to sleep. Doorways, under bridges, abandoned houses or cars become their homes, or for a lucky few the couch of a friend or relative.
The Well is a hospitality center for people who are currently homeless, providing resources such as a shower, laundry room, phone, internet access, and address for correspondence.
By providing this venue, FaithWorks helps those who are currently homeless with opportunities to reconnect with family members, access important services to help them leave the streets, and recover from sickness and disease. Our guests often regain employment and restore hope in their lives.

Starting over when you are currently homeless can be daunting! The stigma is real, employment doors close and neighbors can look away. Getting back on track often comes down to someone simply “opening a door.”
The Open Doors program provides provides case management, goal setting, inspiration, and housing for people experiencing homelessness who are pursuing permanent housing and new employment opportunities. If selected, participants will work towards gaining the basic skills necessary to join the workforce.
