There’s something special about a community coming together to help its neighbors, and few organizations represent that spirit better than Agape Center SML.

On this episode of the SML Buzz Podcast, PJ Belle sits down with Brad and Christine Broughton, the new co-directors of Agape Center at Smith Mountain Lake, to talk about the organization’s mission, the hundreds of volunteers who keep it moving, and the many ways Agape serves families throughout Bedford and Franklin counties.

Brad and Christine share their journey to Smith Mountain Lake, how they became involved with Agape, and what makes the organization’s approach to helping neighbors so unique. From food, clothing and household necessities to mentoring, furniture, firewood and programs designed to help families break cycles of poverty, Agape’s impact reaches far beyond what many people realize.

Then the conversation turns to the 35th Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour, October 9–11, where Agape is partnering with the spectacular Schifferly Home. Sitting on approximately 1.4 acres with incredible water views, beautiful landscaping, contemporary and classic design influences, and plenty of unique features, it promises to be one of this year’s must-see homes.

They also discuss volunteer opportunities during the Home Tour, accessibility considerations for the Schifferly Home, and how you can become involved with Agape throughout the year.
