McAdory Community Bridges

We have another parent in the community who is in need of some help with groceries.  You can buy groceries for this family and drop them at the office at Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church Monday-Thursday between the hours of 9-2pm, or you can drop them at McCalla Elementary, labeled "Grizzard".  Or you can drop off a Walmart gift card for this family, or donate via our website. 

We have a parent who is struggling financially and reached out to one of our principals.  That principal directed her to neighborhood bridges for help-how wonderful!  Let's come together to help this family. You can go purchase a gas card and drop it at McCalla Elementary school, or drop it at Pleasant Hill UMC office (on the hill) Mon-Thursday between 9-2.

We have a parent in the community who needs assistance with groceries. If you'd like to shop for this family-we'd love that!  You can buy pre-packaged shelf stable items like chips, cereal bars, canned food, or mac-n-cheese.  Or you can donate money.  With the funds collected, we will purchase a grocery card.  If you purchase groceries, you can label them "Grizzard" and drop them off at McCalla Elementary School anytime during the school day.  

Hello neighbors!  We have a couple of new needs at this time.  We have been contacted by 2 families who are currently in need of support on their power bills.  These families have different circumstances that have impacted their specific need, but both could really use our support.  As we are all aware, it was a hot summer and our Alabama Power bills are soaring, making it hard for these families to be able to pay the entire bill.  As balances carry over, Alabama Power is now giving a deadline to pay the bill in full or have power turned off.  We would like to help make sure this doesn't happen.  We are working with the families to get support from other agencies and will make payment directly to the power company. 
Because this need is financial in nature, please consider a donation of any amount through our Give Butter platform https://givebutter.com/nbMcAdory   All donations received by 9.12.2025 (Friday) will be applied directly to their bill this week to help avoid a loss of service.
