Volunteers from 11 churches lined up early today (Dec. 21) at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, Birmingham, to receive food boxes for distribution to members of their communities.
Harvest Community Charities, also based in Birmingham, used COVID-19 resources to purchase, pack and distribute holiday boxes with a whole Christmas dinner (ham, pecan pie, beans. etc.) to those in need in Jefferson County.
Members of Sixth Avenue were out too, taking boxes by the church van load out to shut-ins and serving as a pick-up site for members in their community.
“It means a lot,” said Pastor Morris Johnson of Integrity Baptist Church, Hueytown. “We’re aiding our community … meeting a desperate need.”
Johnson was helping coordinate and get distribution trucks loaded. He planned to take a load to his church to distribute within his community.
The Sixth Avenue site helped 11 churches in the area. Harvest provided boxes at three other sites around the county. Each church received 174 boxes to give to their people.
