Tracy Hipps said Christian Service Mission is calling this their “year of jubilee” — the Birmingham-based organization is turning 50 years old and giving lots away to celebrate.
“In September alone, which was the month we officially celebrated, we were able to give away more than $200,000 worth of donated resources to around 100 ministry families,” said Hipps, CSM’s executive director and a member of Shades Mountain Baptist Church, Vestavia Hills. “That included 30 video projectors.”
That’s CSM’s reason for existing — to connect resources with needs and equip the local church to do ministry. This year, they were able to give away $1.3 million worth of food during the COVID-19 crisis. At Christmastime, they plan to give away pallets of household items like blenders and bedding.
“All of it is tools for the gospel. We want to partner with the local church,” he said.
