JIMMIE HALE MISSION

Since 1944 The Jimmie Hale Mission has been a shelter for the homeless, a rest stop for the weary, a feeding station for the hungry, and a sanctuary for the hurting. For many, the Mission has not been their last stop but the first step toward a changed life.

What started as a store-front chapel has grown to include:

• Jessie’s Place, an intermediate shelter for women and children;
• Royal Pines Center, a rural recovery program for men;
• Mission Possible Bargain Centers, fundraising thrift stores;
• Stewart Learning Centers for education remediation and employment readiness, which helps men and women return to the workforce; and
• Shepura Men Center’s relocation to the renovated old Thomas School and its campus expansion including a chapel and dining hall.

Serving Birmingham, Hayden, Hanceville, Easwood, Pinson, Homewood, Adamsville, Jefferson County, Blounty County and surrounding metro area.

This ministry is often mispelled as the Jimmy Hale Mission.
