Faine Elementary

Did you know that 90% of the children at Faine Elementary qualify for free or reduced lunch?  That is why we are so passionate about our food pantry program at Faine.  In partnership with the Wiregrass Area Food Bank, we are able to provide supplemental food bags to Faine families.  Your help is needed with the food pantry or perhaps you would be interested in reading to the children or assisting in the classroom.  Please let us know if you would like to get involved.

The Harbor

The Harbor in downtown Dothan serves as a refuge for struggling people.  It is a place where those in need can find food, clothing, and even a hot shower but most importantly it is a place to find the transforming love of Jesus Christ.  It is a place where you can answer God’s call to love your neighbor.  We are happy to connect you or your small group with volunteering at The Harbor or join us on Saturday Morning Community Day when our church provides breakfast and volunteers for outreach.

His Helping Hands

You probably do not realize how many people from our community that come to Covenant in need of assistance. We do our best to assist our neighbors in need. Your contributions to CovMissions allows us to offer a helping hand in times of need.

Home Improvement Ministry (HIM)

If you like to work with your hands, our HIM ministry is the perfect way for you to serve others.  Our HIM team specializes in wheelchair ramps and necessary health-related home repairs.  Previous construction experience is not required.

Love in Action (LIA)

This downtown ministry has helped to feed thousands during the Pandemic.  We feel blessed to be a part of this outreach.  Many come to LIA for provisions or to have their clothes washed or to take a hot shower, but food assistance has been the greatest need in 2020.  CovMissions has supplies thousands of to-go containers, hundreds of pounds of food, and given a large financial contribution that enabled LIA to purchase a walk-in cooler/freezer.  The ability to keep chilled and frozen foods has tremendously expanded their impact.  LIA has seen many come to Christ during these difficult times.  Let’s talk about how you can put your love in action!

Meals on Wheels

At the core of Meals on Wheels is a nutritious meal, companionship and a watchful eye on the health and safety f local seniors and people with disabilities.  Helping is as easy as arriving at Wesley Manor at 10:45 am to pick up the meals and route information.  Most routes take about an hour to complete.  Contact us to be added to the delivery schedule.

Samaritan’s Clinic

Medical professionals looking to volunteer their services are always needed at Samaritan’s Clinic.  The clinic serves homeless, people on work release, and women referred from The House of Ruth every Thursday night from 4-7 pm.  Services include medical, dental and ophthalmology.  Medications are provided at no cost to patients thanks in part to CovMIssions giving.

SARCOA (Area Agency on Aging)

During the pandemic we have begun partnering with SARCOA to help deliver groceries to their clients throughout the Wiregrass area.  Please let us know if we can add your name to our contact list to deliver as needed.
