Southwest Community Ministries

Why Support SWCM

Southwest Community Ministries is in the heart of Southwest Jefferson County, working to unite community partners to ensure support for our neighbors in crisis. Since 1984, our vision has been to strengthen the Southwest Community by alleviating the burden of crisis and poverty. We proudly serve anyone in zip codes 40272, 40258, and the Jefferson County portion of 40177.

Each year, we provide a hand up through:

• Our on-site food pantry feeding families in need

• Emergency assistance programs helping with rent, utilities, and water

• Meals on Wheels, delivering more than 60 meals a day to homebound seniors

• Backpack program, preparing over 100 children for each school year

• Christmas program, keeping the magic alive for hundreds of children

• Partnerships for health screenings, job fairs, budgeting classes, and more

This work is only possible because of generous donors like you. Every penny donated gets us closer to supporting neighbors in crisis while also giving them the tools they need to thrive.

But today, our campus — the heart of our mission — is in critical disrepair. From a failing roof and unsafe flooring to sewage system issues and water heaters on their last leg, these are not optional fixes. Without them, we risk having to limit or suspend the very services thousands of families rely on.

Your gift — no matter the size — will help us continue making a long-lasting impact in our community.
