Mission of the Month

Red Bird Mission

“If it wasn’t for me these good-hearted people we would go without. They have opened their hearts and doors for us and we are so thankful.” - Brenda and John 

“Red Bird has given me mor that I could give back to Red Bird.” - Senator Johnnie Turner

The quote above came from Individuals from different generations who were impacted by generosity of others. Those living in and around this corner of Appalachia, like Brenda and John, are welcomed by staff at Red Bird’s Community Outreach. Because they were hungry and without food, they received a much-needed emergency food box that day. Like others who come to Outreach each day seeking assistance in one area of their life, our staff spent time getting to know them better and then match our identified needs to be comprehensive resources like clothing, household items, baby supplies, and health supplies. They are offered free services like access to an onsite hearing clinic; tax preparation; health insurance enrollment; smoking cessation and GED classes that are provided by Red Bird or by one of our partner agencies. These community connections offer a lifeline to help lift each person out of a daily struggle toward their goals.
