2012School-aged children in the Birmingham area continue to show their willingness to help those less-fortunate...
One of the many wonderful placemats we received this past
Christmas and ThanksgivingEvery year, the Jimmie Hale Mission hosts its Placemat Project campaign. Kids from school groups, Sunday schools, daycares and home schools all participate in letting those less-fortunate know that they are cared for.
The students from Mrs. Richardson's and Ms. Loeb's classes from
Berry Middle School helped color placemats!Kids color in the blank placements and then send them back in to us. We use the completed placemats to decorate our dining halls throughout the holiday season. This lets the men, women and children at our shelters know that someone is thinking of them.
This placemat really is "yummy!"The placemats are shared at our Shepura Men's Center, Jessie's Place for women and children and at our Royal Pines Recovery Center in Blount County. These placemats help brighten up the walls of our dining halls and the spirits of those staying with us.
Dustin from Bumpus Middle School dropped
off placemats and a donation from the students!Thank you so much to all the schools, students, kids and families that participated in this year's Placemat Project. We can't wait to see what works of art we receive next year!

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we served a traditional Christmas meal to those at our three residential facilities, as well as delivered meals to local seniors and shut-ins.
CBS 42 followed one family of volunteers as they delivered mealsWe are extremely blessed to be in Birmingham, a city filled with caring individuals. If you would still like to help, it's not too late! Your year-end gift can still give a blessing to someone who needs it most, plus, it could give you a blessing in April come tax time.
Thank you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
