For the 15th consecutive year, a Winston-Salem church brought its spirit of generosity to the Carolina Classic Fair, turning one of the region’s most beloved annual events into an opportunity to give back to neighbors in need.
The congregation held a food fundraiser at the fair, a tradition that has quietly grown into a beloved fixture of the community’s autumn calendar. The milestone anniversary is a testament to the dedication of the church’s volunteers and members, who have shown up year after year to make it happen.
“We try to do our part,” the church shared — a simple phrase that captures the steady, humble commitment behind 15 years of showing up for Winston-Salem residents.
The Carolina Classic Fair draws crowds from across the Triad each fall, and this church has used that gathering energy to fuel something meaningful: raising food and funds that go directly toward helping those who need it most in the local community. What began as a single-year effort has grown into a cherished tradition, woven into the fabric of both the fair and the broader Winston-Salem community.
Fifteen years of consistent service is no small feat. It speaks to a congregation that sees community care not as a one-time gesture but as an ongoing calling — one plate, one fair, one year at a time. As the Carolina Classic Fair wrapped up another successful run, this church’s fundraiser stood out as a reminder of how faith communities continue to play a vital role in strengthening the bonds that hold Winston-Salem together.
