Many of our neighbors live paycheck to paycheck, making difficult choices on a daily basis between rent, utilities, food, health care, day care and so much more.

An unexpected expense can throw these families into financial crises. When that happens, these people turn to the ABCCM Crisis Ministry for help. This Ministry serves the low-income citizens of Buncombe County who are facing financial emergencies and are struggling to meet life's basic needs. Each day we see people who are working in one or more low-wage jobs, the disabled or elderly who are living on fixed incomes, and those facing increasing costs of living, stagnant wages and a lack of affordable housing. We provide them with food boxes, gently used clothing, utility and rental assistance families in crisis, and a hot meal in our soup kitchen for our homeless. With your support we insure our families maintain a warm and happy home for themselves and their children.
