Move It! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈWe are beyond grateful to UAB's Kinesiology Program for partnering with us to make our Tuesdays an unforgettable experience! Their dedication to promoting a healthy lifestyle among our younger generation is truly inspiring. Available to all Avondale Elementary School and Red Mountain Community School Students in K-5 (no Pre-K), the 5 week Move It program is a way for children to combine healthy movement and play in a fun and engaging environment. This innovative program not only gets kids moving, but also teaches them valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. By incorporating physical activity into their daily routine, we can help our students develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. We look forward to a new session of Move It in the Fall!

This is a podcast worth listening to.

A big thank you to our friends at Magic City Harvest and Tito's for this incredible donation! πŸ™

Our organization was thrilled to receive 50 reusable tote bags full of nutritious food to distribute to our unhoused neighbors. These donations will make a real difference for the neighbors we serve who are facing food insecurity. We're grateful to have community partners like Magic City Harvest and Tito's who step up to support those in need.

With this nourishing food and the sturdy bags to carry it in, we can ensure our neighbors have access to the essentials they require. A full belly and the means to transport supplies make a big impact.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all involved in making this donation possible! Your generosity is truly appreciated. πŸ’™

Spring has sprung and that means it's time for our Move It after-school program! πŸŒΊπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Students from Avondale School join us at our gym for an active and engaging afternoon led by college students in the UAB kinesiology program. The kids get to try all kinds of fun fitness activities. It's a great way for them to get moving, learn new things, and burn off some energy after a long day at school. They also did a fun round of "Simon Says".

Our Move It participants had a blast during our first session on Tuesday. W️e can't wait to see what other fun they have in store this spring!

❀️ FEBRUARY IMPACT UPDATE ❀️

Every Monday, every snack bag, every meal β€” it all matters. Here's what our Avondale Samaritan Place family made possible this February:

🍽️ 78 of our unhoused neighbors sat down to a Monday lunch β€” not just for food, but for dignity, connection, and community.

πŸŽ’ 178 snack bags were placed in the hands of neighbors living outside β€” a small gesture that says, "We see you. You matter."

πŸ›’ 57 households received supplemental food through our food cooperatives program β€” because no family should have to choose between groceries and everything else.

None of this happens without YOU β€” our volunteers, donors, and community champions. Together, we are proving that Avondale cares for its own.

Thank you!

We are glad to have Alabama Regional Medical Services with us today. They are helping our unhoused clients with medical needs and referrals.

01/23/2026

Out of an abundance of caution regarding the weather this weekend and early next week, our Monday (1/26) co-op ministry will be delayed until Tuesday (1/27).

Our community lunch for the homeless will still take place on Monday at 1pm as regularly scheduled. This includes our plan to have Alabama Regional Medical Services (ARMS) (https://alabamaarms.org/) provide their free Mobile Health Unit, beginning at 12:30 PM.

ARMS will offer:
β€’ Primary Care Health Screenings
β€’ Mental Health Screenings
β€’ HIV Prevention Care
