CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY TO THE MISSION

I’vealways wanted to have a job where I could help people.

In finding the Downtown Rescue Mission, I have found my place. Not only do I help raise funds and awareness for the Mission, but I get to go out into the community and get others involved and excited about helping.

As the PR Coordinator, I’m able to reach out and educate the community about the amazing things we do here at the Mission and to inspire them to get involved by volunteering, conducting food drives, and so much more.

Being involved in three Chambers of Commerce allows me to connect with business leaders in Limestone, Morgan and Madison Counties.

Schools and churches take tours, donate and volunteer with us. We’ll even come speak at your upcoming event. We’re grateful for community involvement from businesses, corporations, churches, schools, and civic groups.

If you’d like to host a food drive, take a tour, or volunteer, please contact me, Ashleigh Hayes at 256-713-4316 or volunteer@downtownrescuemission.org.

It’s great working with local TV and radio stations to feature the impact the Mission is making in our community with things like our Turkey Box giveaways, Earth Day clothing swap, Thanksgiving banquets, and other events or activities throughout the year.

Volunteers feel good about what they do at the Mission because they’re making a difference!

It is such a blessing to be able to share what we do and inspire others to want to be the change. I enjoy what I do and look forward to the amazing things coming for the Downtown Rescue Mission.

Getting kids excited about volunteering is another amazing thing we get to do here!
