What if your family skipped one restaurant dinner this month?

That $100, the cost of a single meal out becomes 588 meals for your Huntsville neighbors experiencing homelessness through First Stop.

One trade. Hundreds of lives sustained.

We're recruiting 200 Huntsville families to become monthly sustainers this summer. Will you be one of the 200?

Rocket City Roller Derby is rolling with purpose!

First Stop is honored to be selected by Rocket City Roller Derby as their Charity of the Month for their upcoming event on Saturday, May 30, 2026, as they take on the Nashville Brawl Stars.

As part of this partnership, First Stop will be on-site with a table to share more about who we are, what we do in the community, and how our neighbors can get involved in supporting people experiencing homelessness. Rocket City Roller Derby will also generously donate a portion of ticket sales from the event to support First Stop’s mission.

We are grateful for community partners who use their platform to make a difference. Every ticket purchased helps support our work to encounter the homeless where they are, connect them to critical services, and empower them toward independent, sustainable living.

Come out, cheer on Rocket City Roller Derby, stop by our table, and learn how you can be part of the journey home.
