ARM’s mission is to strengthen our community by providing services that alleviate suffering, promote dignity and foster hope for those in need… as an expression of the ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ.

What We Do

Area Relief Ministries is a long-standing community partner that cares about Jackson, TN and its people. With over 500 homeless in our community we are committed to working with churches, organizations, and individuals across the city to make our community a stronger one.

We have been helping individuals and families for more than 40 years with homeless/housing services, dental/medical, emergency assistance, and vocational training.We are tirelessly fighting against poverty and hopelessness in an effort to care for our neighbors and to make our community a better place for all to live!

In order to help those we are called to serve, we rely on corporate sponsors and the generosity of our community. We appreciate the ongoing support of our partners and invite you to donate while we continue to assist our community.
