Seasonal Opportunities

Help make Easter happy for local children! Each year our Outreach Easter Basket project benefits kids from ministry partners such as  Children’s Harbor, Avondale Samaritan Place, and King’s Home. Baskets are provided with instructions and suggestions for filling them with Easter goodies.

This team sends a personalized note to each of the men at Donaldson prison as well as to the women’s facility in Birmingham. Names and birth dates are given to the writers who return the cards to Canterbury and are mailed close to that date.

Canterbury hosts a “pop-up” store annually, for parents in the Avondale area to shop for new toys for Christmas, for their children, at affordable prices. This Christmas shopping event takes place annually at Avondale Samaritan Place.

A free community event put on by Avondale Samaritan Place (& volunteers like you!) featuring samplings of the best sweets of the holidays! Fun for the whole family with craft tables, face painting, and a cake walk!

Another opportunity to serve and be a part of ASP! A free community event to have pictures made with Santa, cookie decorating, more crafts, a few games, and just a fun spirit filled afternoon for the whole family!
