Red Bird Mission
Since 1921, Red Bird Mission, non-profit, guided by Jesus Christ, creates opportunities for individuals to enrich their lives and positively impact others within the mountains of southeastern Kentucky.
Our vision is to build healthy, sustainable communities. Our partnership with Berea College Grow Appalachia began in 2010, and is presently serving 55 gardening families annually.
RBM offers a local farmers market, commercial kitchen, cold storage, year round certified farm market, gardening education, access to equipment and support to be successful gardeners feeding their families and selling excess to the community which is designated as a food desert.
RBM also offers Pre-K-12 Christian School, Community Store, Economic Opportunities/Cafe/Crafts, Community Outreach, Work Camp home repairs, Aging Programs, Mental Health and so much more to help families reach their full potential.
