Introducing the ABCCM Loaves & Fishes Campaign
Now through April, you can help us replenish our cupboards for families, the elderly and individuals who are, or will be, hungry this year. While at the grocery stores shopping for dinner, please donate a few of the staples above, or while shopping for the week buy three of your favorite items: one for you, two for others who are hungry.
Please encourage your church, Sunday school class, prayer group or Bible study to have a food drive for the Crisis Ministry near you. ABCCM Crisis Ministry locations are accepting food donations at all four locations. Call 828-259-5300 for more information.
ABCCM is church-owned and volunteer-led. We are always looking for volunteers. Click here to learn more: volunteering opportunities.
Drop off at any of our Crisis Ministries and Clinic located on the map below. Or make an online donation below and we can fill in the pantry gaps where needed most.
