Volunteer Opportunities

We have many volunteer opportunities for individuals as well as for youth groups, and church groups, etc.  Some like to cook food and bring it in for us to serve to the homeless; others like to help us cook at the soup kitchen, and serve it also.  Some people like to come and help out in our thrift store, hanging clothes, and sorting through donations. 

We also have what we call 'Saturday Night Alive Sponsorship.'  This is for large church groups who would like a big ministry opportunity.  The churches that sponsor a Saturday Night Alive, do the following: cook and help in kitchen, gather items to be given away at the SNA such as socks,t-shirts, and toiletry kits, help set up, and clean up (which includes putting clothes racks and tables back in place) praying with people, and providing food and drinks for approx 200 people, and van service to and from the mission and Salvation Army.

To schedule volunteer opportunities, please call Sharon at 256-536-2970 or click on 'contact us.'

  THE NEEDY CHRISTMAS TREE PROGRAM

I want to thank all of you for making the Needy Christmas Tree Program such a big success this year!  Thanks to you, 480 gifts were passed out to the homeless on Christmas Eve and Christmas day!  Some received brand new winter coats, shoes, sleeping bags, and back-packs!!  Everyone, got brand new socks, and gloves, and stocking hats, and scarves!  Thank you so much for your participation in this great program!

 

         THE NEEDY FAMILY PROGRAM

Thanks to all of you who helped us with the Needy Family Program.  This year, 15 families received help with gifts for their children, such as brand new dolls, collector monopoly games, trucks, Barbie dolls, balls and even new clothes, and winter coats.  These families also received a food box with a turkey for Christmas!  Thank you all for your support!

 

                RANDOM SANTA

This year, thanks to everyone who gave so generously, we were also able to do our "Random Santa" program for the first time!  Thanks to you, we took 70 food boxes with turkeys to the lower income neighborhoods of Huntsville, and passed out food boxes.  Many times, those that need help the most won't ask, so we knocked on their doors and asked if they needed a food box!  It was such an awesome blessing to be able to do this.  Some people said "I can't afford to pay for it," well, they were very happy to hear that it was a gift!  Some people cried, and the Lord blessed us to pray with many people that day.  Thank you for blessing us, to be a blessing to others!
