Michelle’ Bingham, Special Events Coordinator and Communications Director at Stewpot Community Services, spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at its January 28, 2020 meeting. Bingham discussed the different programs of Stewpot including the Billy Brumfield House (BBH).
The BBH is a shelter for up to 60 men a night, provides three services. It serves as an emergency shelter for homeless men, offering safe shelter, clean showers, nutritious food, and a supportive community. It also offers a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, supported by AA meetings, group and individual counseling, employment requirements, and a savings program. Finally, for men with medical disabilities, it provides support and a stable place to live as they navigate state and federal requirements to receive benefits and permanent housing. The Billy Brumfield House was named for a homeless man who died of hypothermia while sleeping in his car. Our club provides super to the men on the First Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Matt Monsour or Suzie Tubb. Shown from left are Matt Monsour, club director; Bingham and Larry Anderson, club director.
