In addition to monetary gifts, there are many meaningful ways to support Back Bay Mission.  Following are a few suggestions:
  1. Donate back-to-school supplies for needy children: colored pencils, scissors, pencils, paper, glue, book bags, etc.


  2. Send personal care kits for distribution to needy persons through our Emergency Assistance program. Personal care kits normally consist of the following items: washcloth, bar soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shampoo, deodorant/anti-perspirant, adult underwear, adult socks, razors and shaving cream.


  3. Sponsor a toy drive through your church or workplace to help us make Christmas a little happier for low-income children.  Back Bay Mission provided Christmas gifts for over 450 children in 2005.


  4. Volunteer! Organize a youth, adult, or intergenerational group to help restore low-income housing through our workcamp program.


  5. Volunteer as an individual to give of your time in a number areas of need such as the grounds and building maintenance, or general office tasks. If you are interested in volunteering but require lodging please contact Don Morgan at 228-432-0301 to inquire about availability. 


  6. Receive training in our workshops, seminars, and community forums, addressing key issues and needs of society and the Church. Come as a sabbatical resident.


  7. Donate a car, boat, or other items for resale to benefit the Mission.
