I have been donating to this mission for over 2 years now, and the work they do is amazing. We have so many people right here in our own USA that are hungry and helpless. Edmundite Missions provides above and beyond food, clothing, and other basic necessities so people can survive and maintain their dignity. They are accountable for every penny that they receive. Every gift that is given is acknowledged with a personal letter from director Chad along with stories and testimonies of the work that they do. God Bless this mission

Without this mission many in Selma would go hungry. AL has no interest in helping the poor. Selma doesn't even have public transportation . Many live in 3rd world conditions with little hope for themselves or their children. Thank you Edmundites for you good work at Don Bosco in Selma and the surrounding area!

The mission and ministries of Edmundite Missions is nothing short of inspiring and remarkable. They use their resources wisely in service to the Selma community providing immediate needs to our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. At the same time, their advocacy on behalf of the poor help create sustainable improvements in alleviating poverty. Chad is an innovative leader who leads an excellent staff and army of volunteers. I'm proud to be associated with such a fantastic organization.

I've known the Edmundite Missions for many years. My husband and I were so impressed with the organization that we took our sons, 12 and 17, to Selma during Spring Break this year. We wanted our boys to witness first hand the good the Missions does for those who are the most in need, those who are easily forgotten. It was an experience that our family will never forget. Their leader is Chad McEachern and he is a true visionary. The folks who work and volunteer at the Missions are truly committed to serving the poor. They live it and breathe it. If you ask the people who are helped by the Missions, they will tell you how thankful they are for this bright spot in the midst darkness. I am hard pressed to think of another organization worthy of more support than the Missions.

The Edmundite Missions has been a part of Selma and surrounding communities for over 75 years providing unwavering support to those in need. At the heart of the organization is the Bosco Nutrition Center that not only provides meals twice a day, 365 days a year but also provides meal delivery for those who are homebound. It's also important to know their help goes way beyond just feeding the poor. They provide a wonderful senior program, emergency shelter for those in need, help with utility bills, clothing and much more. I'm very proud to volunteer as a board member and to be a donor to such a caring and impactful organization.

I love organizations like the Missions that are so helpful to society and treat people so well. It's such an asset to Selma. Chad is an amazing leader too. He's very involved with everything that goes on at the Missions and makes us feel welcome.

The Edmundite Missions are an intrinsic part of the community of Selma, Alabama. They do outstanding work with the poor in that city and in the Black Belt of the south. They run the Bosco nutrition center and feed hundreds of people every single day!!!! I have been a donor for years, and I am thrilled to see my donations really helping the poor and disadvantaged. They are a godsend to the community there!!
God Bless them!!
