kimberly31+FollowBirmingham pastor inspires with purpose-driven actionRev. Dr. Thomas Beavers isn’t just talking about purpose—he’s living it. When SNAP benefits were cut, his church, New Rising Star, jumped in to feed over 1,400 families, reaching nearly 4,500 people in Birmingham’s Eastlake community. He says knowing your purpose is key to moving forward, and his leadership proves it: expanding campuses, boosting financial literacy, and supporting families beyond Sunday service. It’s a reminder that when local leaders step up, real change happens. How do you see purpose shaping our neighborhoods? #Religion #Birmingham #CommunityImpact00Share
kerryrivera+FollowBirmingham’s Angel Tree: Neighbors helping neighborsNothing brings out the holiday spirit like seeing local teams step up for our community. The Birmingham City Schools Facilities & Maintenance crew just wrapped up their annual Angel Tree drive, making sure seven local kids get gifts and essentials they truly need. But they didn’t stop there—they also joined the Helping Hands Contest, donating baby essentials to families at the Lovelady Center with a creative Mickey & Minnie Mouse theme. It’s inspiring to see this kind of teamwork and generosity in action. How else could we as a community pitch in or spread this kind of kindness year-round? #Safety #Birmingham #AngelTree10Share
Robert Daniels+FollowWest Birmingham finally gets a grocery storeAfter two years without a grocery store, West Birmingham’s Heritage Park Town Center is about to see a big change—Carver Jones Market is moving in, bringing fresh, affordable food and 30 new jobs. Residents have been sharing their wish lists with the store’s CEO, and the plan is to offer everything from national brands to value products, plus a pharmacy and meat department. With city support and a full renovation underway, this could mean healthier options and a boost for the local economy. How do you think this new market will impact the neighborhood? #Food #Birmingham #FoodDesert00Share
Gary Dunlap+FollowBirmingham’s Thanksgiving lunch brings neighbors togetherNobody should spend Thanksgiving alone or hungry, and this year’s Salvation Army luncheon in Birmingham proved just that. Volunteers of all ages—some serving for the first time, others returning—came together to serve meals and share real conversations with shelter residents and community members. The event wasn’t just about food; it was about making everyone feel seen and valued, no matter their circumstances. Even ‘Cool Santa’ dropped by to spread extra cheer! Events like this remind us how much fellowship and kindness matter, especially during the holidays. Would you consider volunteering next year or know someone who’d love to join? #Safety #Birmingham #Thanksgiving00Share
Marcia Hamilton+FollowBirmingham neighbors rally for Mrs Sandy and her dogAn 83-year-old woman, Mrs Sandy, and her loyal dog have been sleeping on Birmingham’s streets after shelters turned them away—mostly because she refuses to abandon her only companion. Locals are stepping up: some have offered her a place to stay, while others are brainstorming ways to help, like setting up donations or reaching out to organizations that support people and pets. This situation really highlights the gaps in our support systems for the elderly and their animals. What creative solutions or resources do you think could help Mrs Sandy and others in her shoes? Let’s hear your ideas! #Safety #Birmingham #CommunitySupport00Share
Connie Wilson+FollowBirmingham pets get a creative boostBirmingham’s animal lovers have two fun ways to make a real difference this month! Kitty Kat Haven & Rescue is turning your pet pics into quirky, custom portraits—no artistic skills required, just a $20 donation. Plus, if you’re feeling creative, you can sign up to be an artist yourself (the sillier, the better). Over in Pelham, the Alabama Wildlife Center is hosting a Paint ‘N’ Sip where you can paint a live ambassador bird, enjoy some wine, and support local wildlife. Both events are a chance to give back, get creative, and maybe meet some new friends. Who’s in? #Entertainment #Birmingham #SupportLocal10Share
