Honoring Our Veterans
May is National Military Appreciation Month! Read below to hear from three veterans about how ABCCM's programs such as Veterans Services of the Carolinas, Steadfast House and the Veterans Restoration Quarters make a difference in our community and region.
Monique's Story
We know volunteers can transform the lives of the men, women and children that ABCCM serves every day. Volunteers can also transform a building! Click here to read about how a group of volunteers performed crucial maintenance work at ABCCM's South Crisis Ministry center in Arden.

Needs
Food - Help us fill the pantry shelves of our four Crisis Ministries – Steadfast House and Veterans' Restoration Quarters.
There is always a need for basic staples like flour, sugar, oils; peanut butter, but there is also need for solid protein with canned meats like chicken, ham, pork, tuna or fish.
Household Items We help people who have gotten on their feet with a good job and housing as they leave Steadfast House and the Veterans Restoration Quarters as they set up their new home. They always need household items like, dishes, pots and pans, flatware, linens. We need tables and chairs, chests of drawers, beds – so they have something to eat on, sleep on and sit on.
Please take smaller items to one of our four Crisis Ministries or the Veterans Restoration Quarters.
Call 828.259.5323 for more information.
Medical Ministry We need volunteers who can be organizers. We are so blessed that we receive so many left over medical supplies – from bandages to glucometers to blood pressure machines to hard equipment like shower chairs, walkers and wheelchairs.
We need organizers who would give some time, three hours once a week or three hours once a month to help organize and store these materials so they can be easily distributed to the hundreds we see each month.
Of course, there is always a space for physicians, nurses, dentists and assistants, pharmacists and techs
along with administrative volunteers
Call Maia at 828.259.5339.

Representatives serve our church membership through recruiting volunteers, supplying resources, and supporting our mission in caring for our neighbors in need.
If you are a newly appointed representative or need to reconnect, please plan to join us at the General Assembly meeting for a lovely meal and informative meeting on how we are providing outreach and vital services to our neighbors in need. See current information at the top of this blue bar.
