The week of February 14 each year is our opportunity to say thank you to a special group of men and women, more than 98,000 Veterans of the U.S. armed services who are cared for every day in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers, outpatient clinics, domiciliaries, and nursing homes.

As part of the National Salute to Veterans, held around Valentine's Day each year, first fruits is providing Valentine's Day gift baskets for the deserving veterans at The Colonel Robert L. Howard State Veterans Home located in Pell City. Please help us provide 200+ gift baskets to these deserving veterans.

firstfruits ministries was formed to provide work for women struggling with homelessness, addictions, poverty and abuse. Our goal is to give a helping hand to women on the road to recovery, to give them new life and new purpose by teaching them to produce quality hand-made products, gift baskets and specialty food items.

We also specialize in selling re-purposed and ministry-related products. Items sold through firstfruits are made by carefully selected artisans and craftsmen who share our belief in turning ashes to beauty, that all things and all people have value and can be made new, no matter how worn and tired.

By working with women’s shelters and ministries, we have developed a pragmatic, practical approach while maintaining quality production standards. We provide a structured, calm and nurturing Christ-centered working environment to help women along the path to responsible self-sufficiency.
