Harvest of Hope Luncheon September 12th

The 11th annual Harvest of Hope Luncheon which benefits Oak Mountain Missions Ministries will be held on September 12, 2017 at The Club. Founded in 2001, Oak Mountain Missions is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides food, clothing, furniture, household items, and financial assistance to those in need in Shelby and Jefferson Counties. Clients are referred to the Mission from area domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, churches and social service agencies. All assistance is provided to qualified, screened clients free of charge from the Mission’s 10,000 sq. foot facility in Pelham. In 2016 alone, the Mission provided assistance to families 6,027 times. “Harvest of Hope accounts for a significant portion of our annual funding so its success is vital so we can bring hope to those in need,” noted Roddy Cooper, the Mission’s founder and Director. “The need for assistance has grown each year since the Mission was started but thanks to the support of Harvest of Hope, the generosity of donors, and more than 400 volunteers who devote their time and talent, we’re able to do God’s work.”

The guest speaker for this year’s Harvest of Hope is Shelby County Commissioner Mike Vest, whose own personal story mirrors that of many clients served by the Mission. “In his youth, Mr. Vest was the recipient of assistance by non-profit organizations so he knows first hand how important the work of Oak Mountain Missions is to the community,” said Cooper. “Mike’s story illustrates the impact that Oak Mountain Missions has in eliminating hopelessness among

those who are most in need of our compassion,” continued Cooper. In addition to keynote speaker Mike Vest, Harvest of Hope

also features a testimony by a client whose life has been changed by the generosity of donors to Oak Mountain Missions. The master of ceremonies for the luncheon will be CBS 42 broadcaster, Jamie Langley. The Harvest of Hope Luncheon will begin at 11:30 AM on September 12, 2017 at The Club, with a Silent Auction starting at 10 AM.
