Edmundite Missions, a Catholic organization, has fulfilled our Biblical calling for over 80 years by quietly serving the suffering living in Alabama's poverty-stricken Black Belt region. What began in 1937 as a courageous fight for victims of discrimination in the Deep South quickly broadened to include outreach ministries of compassion providing essential daily needs of food, clothing and shelter to the poor. Today, Edmundite Missions continues as the area's largest and most respected nonprofit organization, addressing the overwhelming prevalence of homelessness, extreme poverty and hunger. We are a proven innovator in providing responsive solutions that address some of the most pressing issues affecting the rural poor. Our current outreach programs include:o The Bosco Nutrition Center in Selma - a nurtrion center serving a hot, nutritious lunch and dinner 365 days a year. In 2019, we served over 300,000 meals.o Meals of Hope – delivering nutritious meals to homebound elderly and disabled.o Food Pantries – providing both meals and grocery bags of nutritious food from our centers located in the rural communities Pine Apple, Mosses and Vredenburgh, Alabama and New Orleans. o Catholic Social Services – a program that exclusively helps families, children and seniors who have suffered a catastrophic emergency; need utility and/or rental assistance, clothing and prescription assistance; and/or require help securing transportation to doctor visits. o Family Emergency Housing - currently providing emergency shelter for those displaced by a home fire, in need of shelter during inclement weather, about to be evicted from their residence or who are completely homeless.
