2011Volunteers from a local banking organization help feed the women and children of Jessie's Place...
Regions' employees worked hard to conduct a food drive
for us and even helped load up the van too!At the Jimmie Hale Mission, we bank on others to help make our ministry possible. Donors, volunteers, supporters and advocates all make our work possible. And our supporters bank on us to make a difference in our community.
Regions Bank is one such supporter that for a long time now, has banked on the Jimmie Hale Mission to help the homeless and hurting. They showed their support very recently by conducting a food drive to help feed the women and children of Jessie's Place, one of the shelters within our ministry.
Members from "Team Green" load up the van with food donations.
We love getting the big cans - more food to feed the homeless
and hungry with!Every year, the Trust Operations and Technology department participates in a community involvement project. Last year, they donated to the Mission's Men's Center, and this year, they thought it only fitting to conduct a drive for Jessie's Place.
"Team Green" as they called themselves, collected more than 1,500 lbs. of food, in addition to clothing for women and children. Steven Thomas, the President of Team Green said, "No area in Regions has a group of people with bigger hearts than the associates in Trust Operations and Technology."
More Regions' employees pose at our van and with Charlie, our van driver.Michael Morrison, SVP and Executive Manager of Trust Operations and Technology added, "When it comes to giving back to the community, our associates not only embrace the value, they exhibit leadership in all efforts, bank-wide, in terms of participation and generosity. We are proud of what we do for the bank, one another, for our community and above all, for our valued clients."
Such a large donation means it takes a while to load up the van!Thank you so much to Regions for their generous and continued support of the Mission! They truly outdid themselves.

2011Kids get ready to help the Jimmie Hale Mission through the Holiday Placemat Project...
Around the Birmingham and surrounding areas, school children, Sunday school classes and even home-school groups are gearing up for the annual Holiday Placemat Project.
Students from Vernon Elementary were happy to participate last year.
Here, they stand with "Happy Thanksgiving" banners they also made
just to share with us!Kids help by coloring in the blank placemats we provide and then when they are, they send them in to the Jimmie Hale Mission. The placemats are then used to decorate our dining halls at all of our shelter facilities. This way, the homeless and hungry will know that someone is thinking of them.
Click the image above for your downloadable PDFPlease encourage your kids, church or school group to participate - the more placemats, the better! Completed placemats can be sent to: The Jimmie Hale Mission, Attn: Media Depart., at PO Box 10472, Birmingham, AL 35202.
Be sure to send in completed placemats by November 18 for us to have them in time for Thanksgiving. You can also send in placemats (again, if you'd like) by December 19 for us to use them for Christmas as well.
Click here for more details on the placemat project - we hope to see your artwork soon!
