SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY.

At Grace Klein Community, sustainability is a commitment to love our neighbors and steward resources wisely. From reducing waste and repurposing goods to educating our community and cultivating long-term environmental solutions, we believe everyone can play a part in creating a more sustainable future. Whether you donate, volunteer, provide supplies, or host a collection barrel, join us to build a more sustainable tomorrow.

Contribute to the cause

Support our operations by making a reoccurring financial gift. Your contribution funds community initiatives, reduces waste, and sustains our long-term impact in Birmingham and beyond. Every dollar makes a difference in creating a healthier planet for future generations.

Become a Sustainability VOLUNTEER

Join our team of passionate volunteers who make hands-on contributions to sustainability. Whether you’re helping with composting, sorting recyclables, or supporting educational events, your time and energy will directly benefit our efforts to reduce environmental impact.

AMAZON WISHLIST

Provide tools and supplies we need to further our sustainability goals. Our Amazon Wishlist includes items which support recycling efforts, sustainable packaging, educational materials, and food preservation. Make a tangible impact from anywhere.

Host a Sustainability Barrel

Become a sustainability champion in your neighborhood, church, or business by hosting a Sustainability Barrel. These barrels help collect items for reuse or recycling and raise awareness in your community. We’ll drop off and pick up the barrel; all you have to do is fill the barrel.
