Volunteers from United Ability box water for distribution.
Each year more than 5,000 volunteers come to us with a desire to serve and we have the privilege of hearing their heart and helping them find place either here at CSM or in the community. Each group and person is unique in their talents and abilities and we work hard at matching them to an appropriate project. We love it when this happens! A few years ago we started receiving "damaged" water in large baskets from Dollar General. This water comes from torn packages and is no longer usable by them but fills a great need we have for bottled water! Now we had lots of baskets of water but no way to distribute the water to the community. The Lord stepped in and brought several groups from Vestavia High School, United Ability, and Unless U to fill this need. It's a great project, serves a greater purpose, and gives us the opportunity to build relationships with these groups week after week. We are so thankful for our partnership with Dollar General and with these schools!

Last year, 101 Mobility made a generous donation to provide a wheelchair
lift to offer better accessibility to our volunteers. Before that, we
didn't have a great way to bring people into our building which limited
who could serve with us. Now, anyone can join us no matter their
ability! Read more about the donation 101 Mobility made and how it changed our CSM campus.
