The ABCCM Donations Center and Thrift Store serve as the hub for the thousands of items donated to the Ministry. All donated goods are received at the warehouse at 217 Coxe Avenue where they are sorted and distributed. The ABCCM Crisis Ministry sites receive first priority for donated clothes and household goods. Excess items are routed to the ABCCM Thrift Store (also at 217 Coxe Avenue), where donated items are converted to needed funds for Ministry programs. In addition, the Donations Center contains a bailing operation which takes old and unusable clothing and material and sells it for recycling, producing needed funds for the Ministry, and aiding in protecting the environment through recycling.

The Donation Center also serves as the distribution point for major furniture and appliances that are distributed to those in need, assisting homeless individuals and families in moving back into community housing.
