Because compassion is part of our DNA


WE Care is Urban Ministry’s partnership with Beeson Senior Services, offering utility assistance and healthy food programs for seniors in the West End.

Utility Assistance Programs

Our work includes offering utility assistance to those in the West End community. A limited number of appointments are available each month.

Requesting Assistance

Assistance can be requested by calling in to (205) 781-0517 on the first Monday of every month between 9:00am and 9:30am. When calling in, please leave one message. All callers will have an equal chance to receive assistance, so please do not call right at 9:00am to ensure the system remains available for all callers.

Healthy Food Programs

Part of Urban Ministry’s work is to meet the needs of our neighbors with compassion and grace. WE Care offers a food co-op program where shelf-stable foods and dietary staples are provided at no charge to families who might otherwise not know where their next meal is coming from.

But the co-op doesn’t stop there. Co-op small groups are designed to help members fellowship and build trust with one another, aiming to build stronger community bonds.
