| Police recruits sorting supplies going to LA flood relief. |
We love the variety of people and groups who come to serve alongside us and further the mission of CSM. This month, we had the opportunity to work with the Birmingham Police Academy in efforts to serve the flood victims in Louisiana. The academy contacted us to be their end-of-the-program project and we gladly accepted their participation. Together we were able to consolidate around 60 pallets of food, cleaning supplies, water, and other donated items down to 24 pallets to fit into the 18-wheeler that was sponsored to take the items to Louisiana.
We worked for several hours to pack, stack and load around 35,000 pounds of donations to be sent for the relief efforts. As you might imagine, these academy graduates worked very hard and quickly to achieve our goal and had the opportunity to learn more about the ministry of Christian Service Mission along the way. Thank you to those that helped that day and thank you to those that serve and protect in the city of Birmingham!
Being a volunteer driven organization, we don't often know if we are going to have what we need to accomplish our goals. However, everyday we see God provide just the right number of people needed to get the job done. We are so thankful to our volunteers for being a part of this great mission!
