Bed Build Oct. 5 for Homewood Helps
You MUST sign up to participate
Homewood Helps is offering a chance to serve others! On October 5, from 8:00am to 12:00pm, a special 'Build Day' will take place in the Homewood Middle School parking lot. Volunteers from all over our community will build 60 beds for children in our area. These provide a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs.
No experience is necessary—just bring a smile! All tools and instructions will be provided. Starting with a stack of lumber, participants will move wood through various stations (sanding, hammering, drilling, branding, and staining) to create bed parts. These parts will later be assembled in children's homes to ensure they have a safe and comfortable bed.
Be sure to wear those "Team All Saints" shirts!

As Christians, we believe all of creation was called into being by the very word of God. The Bible reveals that our Creator calls us to be stewards of creation and to love our neighbors. Inspired by the unsurpassed love God showed us by sending Jesus Christ, God’s only son, to redeem us through his death and resurrection, we respond to God's commands. The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and the All Saints Creation Care Committee is committed to environmental education, advocacy, and action for our neighbors and all of creation. Here are some great opportunities to get involved!
