What is Love Oliver?

Brook Hills has had the great privilege of developing a partnership with Oliver Elementary School in Gate City, one of Birmingham's 99 neighborhoods. We call this initiative Love Oliver. 

Many of the students at Oliver come from low-income families with no adult male in the home. Brook Hills partners with the school and local ministries to invest in the children and families in this area of our city. Children and their families in Gate City have limitless God-given potential to transform their community despite the many ongoing barriers they face.

Through Love Oliver, we hope to empower families to succeed as they take personal responsibility for their future.

This is how we Love Oliver. How will you Love Oliver?
