Lexington Flying Pigs Team Joins Sunnyside Ministry to Serve Local Community

Lexington, NC — June 12, 2025 — The Lexington Flying Pigs proudly stepped off the field and into service this week as players and staff spent the day volunteering at Sunnyside Ministry, a local nonprofit organization committed to following Christ by providing hope through service, education, and empowerment to those in need.

With sleeves rolled up and hearts wide open, the team assisted in packing hundreds of food bags, organizing essential pantry items, and relocating donated clothing—ensuring resources are readily available to members of the community facing hardship.

“We had a fantastic time and truly hope our efforts made even a small difference,” said Danny Kirkman, Owner of the Lexington Flying Pigs. “It’s a privilege to support a ministry whose mission aligns with values we hold dear: service, compassion, and community.”
