Community Partners

We do not serve Clay County alone. These are the partners we work alongside.

Working Together

Hayesville First has been a spiritual leader in Clay County for many generations, long recognized for its commitment to the community, missional service, social justice, and reconciliation. Much of that work happens shoulder to shoulder with the organizations below.

Our Partners


Clay County Food Pantry


Providing groceries and food assistance to families across Clay County. Hayesville First supports the pantry with volunteers and donations throughout the year.

Wesley Foundation


The United Methodist campus ministry, walking with college students as they grow in faith during their college years.

Young Harris College


A United Methodist-affiliated liberal arts college just across the state line in Young Harris, Georgia, and a longtime neighbor to our congregation.

TO CONFIRM: Confirm the correct public website and contact for the Clay County Food Pantry and the Wesley Foundation, then replace the placeholder buttons. Add drop-off locations, volunteer hours, and current needs if the partner wants them listed.

The Wider Connection


As a United Methodist congregation, Hayesville First is part of a connection that reaches well beyond Clay County.

Western North Carolina Conference


Our annual conference — the regional body of United Methodist churches across western North Carolina.

The global denomination: news, beliefs, and resources for the whole connection.
