Birmingham, Ala.-headquartered Apex Roofing & Restoration announced ahead of Thanksgiving a charitable donation of $75,000 to the Jimmie Hale Mission, a nonprofit that offers shelter, food and recovery services to individuals and families in need across Birmingham.

“At Apex, we are passionate about supporting missions [that] feed and rehabilitate the members of our community who are lost, unwell, and trapped in the cycle of extreme poverty,” said Grant Rockett, CEO of Apex Roofing, in a Nov. 26 news release.

“This donation is our way of supporting the re-entry of these community members into a functional, healthy, and safe life,” Rockett added. “We hope that this contribution will combine with blessings given by others to ensure that everyone in Birmingham has a chance at warmth, stability, and a brighter future.”

Apex said The Jimmie Hale Mission is a cornerstone nonprofit in the Birmingham area that operates three facilities: two serving men, one in downtown Birmingham and another in Blount County, and a center for women and children in downtown Birmingham.

The organization plays a critical role in addressing homelessness and poverty by providing recovery programs, education, and other resources designed to empower individuals toward self-sufficiency. JHM also operates an emergency warming station for the City of Birmingham during freezing overnight temperatures.

“While Apex has been a loyal supporter of the Jimmie Hale Mission for years, the size and timing amplify the impact of this donation,” said Perryn Carroll, executive director of the Jimmie Hale Mission. “With the holidays and cold weather on the way, we can apply this gift to seasonal needs like supplies for our emergency warming station. On average, we offer warming station services to 676 unique individuals over 34 nights each winter.”

The impact of Apex’s support extends far beyond the immediate season. “The men, women, and children we serve, and their families, will carry the legacy of this donation in their lives and their communities for years to come,” Carroll added.
