The Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky serves the physical, educational and spiritual needs of Appalachia. Red Bird Mission is a ministry of the United Methodist Church. There are opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate in this trip that will happen Oct. 5-10, 2025. Contact Gene Smith.
Some examples of work projects are roof replacement, small room additions, painting, building porches or ramps, and grounds keeping. Other light-duty work is available such as office work, craft and community store helpers, and recycling. A single fee covers the cost of each person’s lodging, meals, and materials used.
Note: when donating to this mission, please specify “trip,” “scrap metal drive,” etc. Thank you!
Free Pancake Dinner sponsored by the Red Bird Mission Team. All donations will help defray the cost of materials on the home repair projects when the team goes to Kentucky in the fall.
The Red Bird Mission Team will collect your scrap metal Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Brighton Campus. Save your metallic household items for this fundraiser! Common scrap metal items include
If you need items to be picked up, contact Ginger VanBlaricum, 810-772-1863. Items must be outside or in an open garage (volunteers can not enter your home, thank you for your understanding).
By contributing your unwanted metallic items in this way, you are reducing the amount of waste into land fills and contributing to mission work — all money raised from the salvaged metal is for Red Bird Mission. Volunteers separate the metal from donated items to increase the salvaged value.
Fun fact…….when tearing apart a dryer. We get nine feet of small wire, the cord, the motor, a circuit board, the outside casing, which gets flattened, and usually a metal drum.
By separating all these items, more money is raised for missions.
Note: when donating financially to this mission, please specify “scrap metal drive,” etc. Thank you!
