Shelter Ministry

Taking in the Stranger

The ABCCM Shelter Ministry provides temporary emergency shelter for individuals and families who need a temporary safe-haven before moving back in the community. 

ABCCM operates two shelters for homeless individuals and families in our community. "A Vet's Place" at 207 Coxe Avenue serves 65 veterans in a transitional housing facility and has 12 emergency shelter beds; while the Women and Children's Shelter at 141 Hillside Street provide shelter for 43 women and children. 

The Shelter Ministry's goal is to help each homeless person regain their independence through work and a faith understanding of life.
