Big Fish Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that began housing men in South Baldwin County in February of 2016. Our ministry seeks to meet the needs of the homeless and addicted in south Baldwin County. We do this by providing short term emergency shelter, and long term residential Christ Centered Recovery.

For those who come to us as shelter residents we provide them with food, shelter, clothing, and hygiene products as we seek to help them find long term solutions to their problems. Our Pathway to Purpose Recovery Program takes individuals with broken lives through a 12-18 month process of healing and transformation. This is a life changing program for those who choose to commit themselves to the process. The program offers individual and group counseling, case management, bible study, relevant curriculum, mentorship, GED classes, literacy classes and work therapy. We currently have 20 men enrolled in our program, and hope to add a women's program in the near future. Our goal for each individual that comes to our ministry is for them to successfully return to society as productive, responsible citizens with hope, and a vision to fulfill God’s will for their lives.

We would like to thank everyone who has donated your usable goods for resale as well as those who have supported us by shopping at the Thrift Shop. Likewise, to those who have donated vehicles, boats, and made monetary contributions we would like to say a special thank you! Remember that we have a truck available to pick up your donations if you are ever swapping out appliances or furniture in your home or rental property we would love to do the work for you of moving out your used items to make room for your new ones. Don't forget that all donations to Big Fish ministries are tax deductible so when you donate it benefits everyone.

Here is a little summary of how your contributions are making a difference in your community. Since we opened our doors we have provided over 5,000 nights of shelter and have fed over 15,000 meals to those in need. We have seen numerous people find freedom in Christ from addictions and other life controlling issues. We have seen lives and families that were once completely broken put back together through the power of Jesus Christ. We have also provided many needy families with clothing and furniture from our thrift shop free of charge. This is the ministry that you support when you donate to us. Together we are making a difference in Baldwin County, one life, one family at a time!
