A Few Hands Can Make a Big Impact

Volunteers from Regions Bank

Each month we have everything from individual volunteers to large groups of a hundred or more. These volunteers are vital to our organization and to the work that is happening here at CSM and in Birmingham! We have a small staff and we would not be able to accomplish all the tasks before us without the volunteers who make it all happen. 

This month, ten volunteers from Regions Bank came and we needed them to pack over a thousand resource packs for our Mother's Day event. They only had a few hours to work with us but because of their dedication and passion they got all resources packed! God is such a great provider!

These resources were passed out to women in nursing homes and at a special luncheon where women from local shelters were honored at a time when they feel the most forgotten. These gifts, while more practical than fancy, made the women feel so special and these volunteers helped make that happen. Because of their efforts, over 120 women at the luncheon and over 1,000 women at local underserved nursing homes throughout the city received a special gift. Thanks for your service Regions!
