THE ISSUES

http://www.firststop.org/the-issues.html

Currently, in Huntsville and Madison County, Alabama, our mental health system is strained due to lack of funding and a high demand for services. Our mental health professionals do outstanding work to help people cope with a variety of mental illnesses, but they can only do so much with limited resources. First Stop helps clients access the mental health services, medications, and treatment that they desperately need but can’t afford. Lack of social services available. First Stop, Inc.

GREENHOUSE PROJECT

http://www.firststop.org/greenhouse-project.html

The First Stop Greenhouse Project was a client-inspired idea to build a community garden for the homeless. The greenhouse has been built by First Stop clients and constructed out of mostly recycled materials. The idea is for clients to produce fruits and vegetables, learn new skills and to help First Stop spread its message of empowerment. To Donate to the Greehouse Project:. First Stop, Inc.

OUR PARTNERS

http://www.firststop.org/our-impact.html

At First Stop, our core mission is to empower the homeless. But what does that mean? But even empowerment isn't enough when there isn't a solution for self-sustainability. So in 2015, First Stop announced its intention to launch a supportive employment plan made possible through micro-enterprises. The reception to these plans from the community were overwhelming. Publix helped us build our Greenhouse in April of 2015 so that our clients could learn to grow produce and sell it at local farmers markets.
