12th Annual Harvest of Hope Luncheon and Silent Auction

The Twelfth Annual Harvest of Hope Luncheon, benefitting Oak Mountain Mission Ministries, will be held on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at The Club.  A silent auction will begin at 10:00 AM with the luncheon at 11:30 AM.

Founded in 2001, Oak Mountain Mission Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which, through the generosity of faith support churches, provides food, clothing, furniture, and financial assistance to those in need in Shelby County and the Greater Birmingham area. Individuals are referred to the Mission from domestic violence and homeless shelters, faith support churches, and social service agencies.  Everything is given to screened, qualified clients at no charge. In 2017, Oak Mountain Mission had 6,120 interactions with families for assistance and the need is continuing to grow.

The Harvest of Hope luncheon keynote speaker will be Roddy Cooper who, for the first time at the event, will share the inspirational story behind why the Mission was founded.  Roddy, who serves as Director of Oak Mountain Mission Ministries, began the Mission from his basement.  Today, the Mission serves families more than 6,000 times each year from its 10,000 square foot facility in Pelham.

“Because of Roddy’s vision, thousands of families have been given hope and witness God’s love through the compassionate support offered by Oak Mountain Mission,” noted Tricia Parks, Chairperson of Harvest of Hope. “Proceeds from Harvest of Hope are essential to continuing that vision.”

In addition to Mr. Cooper, the Master of Ceremonies will be WBRC Fox 6 broadcaster, Janet Hall.  A Mission client will share how the generosity of donors is changing lives. More than 500 people attended Harvest of Hope last year so reservations are necessary.
