Affordable Housing Ministries
Enhancing Neighborhoods (AHMEN)
Most of our members know that AHMEN is our affordable housing ministry; however, this ministry keeps adapting as it grows. With great thanks to Minnie Bowden for all her leadership, we are welcoming two new leaders to take her place and give her a rest. There are so many different ways to get involved that we encourage you to see the lists below and contact the liaison to volunteer or learn more.
Homestretch: A transitional ministry for homeless families offering a home and program up to two years. Work with one of two RPC sponsored families. Be on a mentor team, budget advisor, office volunteer, cook meals, etc. Contact our RPC liaison: Dottie Akin.

Volunteer as a family mentor, budget counselor, teaching life-skills, assessing/acquiring properties, grant writing, or with the Advocacy team researching, strategizing, and collaborating with community and city leaders. Upcoming renovation schedules will be determined. Contact: Jennifer Squires or Ann Coker. |
