Contact Jimmie Hale Mission
It has been an honor and privilege to work with the Jimmie Hale Mission since 2003. Getting to work with then Executive Director Tony Cooper for almost twenty years and now with current Executive Director Perryn Carroll to help serve the Birmingham community is a true blessing. Also working with the late Miss Jessie (widow of Jimmie Hale and the namesake of Jessie’s Place) has been a highlight over the years.

The Jimmie Hale Mission Believes Everyone Deserves the Chance to Rebuild Their Lives
In Alabama, 3,752 people are experiencing homelessness. Over half of them are facing it for the first time. But the Jimmie Hale Mission believes everyone deserves a chance to rebuild. This year alone the Mission has served 173,025 meals and provided 56,400 nights of safe shelter to those in need.
But, the JHM mission goes beyond just providing for immediate needs. The Jimmie Hale Mission offers pathways to recovery — addressing the root causes of homelessness and unhealthy living. The Mission’s proven process is built on compassion, guidance and accountability, all grounded in Christian faith.
Together, we can make a lasting difference. Join us in providing hope, dignity and a future to those who need it most.
Offering hope since 1944
Since 1944, the Jimmie Hale Mission has been offering hope to those in the grip of homelessness. For 80 years, they’ve been helping individuals rebuild their lives, one step at a time.
Jimmie Hale Mission doesn’t just provide a place to stay. They offer a comprehensive program – a 15-week residential program that equips men and women with the tools they need to transform lives. The Mission’s experienced counselors and recovery coaches work one-on-one and in small groups to help clients grow in five key areas: physical, mental, relational, vocational and spiritual health. After graduation, the journey doesn’t end.
The Continuum of Care Program allows graduates to stay at the Mission while receiving continued support, helping them get back on their feet, find a job or go back to school. The Jimmie Hale Mission isn’t just changing lives, they’re transforming futures. To learn more about how you can make a difference, submit the form on this page.
