Birmingham Non-Profit to Host Record-Breaking Dinner for a Cause
October 7 @ 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Urban Purpose, a Christ-centered ministry serving Birmingham’s homeless and hurting population, invites the entire community to partake in a record-breaking dinner event, “A Seat at the Table” presented by Stewardly Advisors, on Monday, October 7th, at Railroad Park.
The event aims to set the record for the “Biggest Table in Birmingham,” offering attendees a feast of delicious Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q, live music, and family-friendly entertainment for just $15 per ticket in the heart of the Magic City. As a show of their support, the Birmingham Mayor’s Office will be represented at the event with an official proclamation of this historic effort. Most importantly, the event supports Urban Purpose’s drive to provide a seat at the table for everyone, including our unhoused brothers and sisters who will join in the meal and festivities.
Event Details:
● Date: Monday, October 7th
● Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
● Location: West Green, Railroad Park, Birmingham
● Tickets: Available for purchase online at urbanpurpose.org/table
● Additional Opportunities: Businesses can support the event through sponsorship and individuals can purchase meals for unhoused individuals at urbanpurpose.org/table
Ticket proceeds will directly support Urban Purpose’s programs and services, which include:
● The Compound, a day shelter providing hot showers, laundry facilities, and a safe space for Birmingham’s homeless population.
● Access to a shelf stable food, clothing closet, and hygiene kits.
● Periodic special events fostering community and well-being.
● Support in accessing long-term solutions like addiction recovery programs, transitional housing, and employment assistance.
Jim McFarland, Executive Director of Urban Purpose, shares his enthusiasm for the event, stating “By breaking bread together at ‘A Seat at the Table,’ we’re raising vital funds to help our homeless neighbors, while also building bridges of understanding and compassion. We hope this event will inspire our city to embrace those experiencing homelessness and join us in creating lasting solutions.”
