Back Bay Mission relies on the generous support of individuals and congregations across the United States. While we are a community ministry of the United Church of Christ, we receive no funding from the national setting of the denomination. That means that people just like you are the people who are strengthening neighborhoods, seeking justice, and transforming lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

$100 can provide groceries for someone who is moving into housing.
$250 can pay the utility deposit for someone moving into housing or provide five monthly bus passes.
$500 can pay to reconnect someone to utilities that have been shut off.
You can do even more with a recurring gift. By giving a smaller amount each week, month, or quarter, you can end up giving more than you would with a single gift. That translates to more neighborhoods strengthened, more justice sought, and more lives transformed.
