What Are You Called To Do?

Because of our valued volunteers around 93¢ cents of every dollar donated to ABCCM goes to service those in need. As an ABCCM Volunteer you can make a big difference the lives of others. Last year, through the help of our volunteers ABCCM served 19,572 hot meals, 37,508 food boxes, distributed 151,912 household items, furniture, and clothing to families with children, Veterans (including rapid rehousing for over 150 homeless Veterans), homeless women with children, and the elderly in crisis in our community.

This year, on the heels of Covid-19 ABCCM needs the help of volunteers more than ever! Whether new, or a returning volunteer at ABCCM we identify the ideal volunteer position that fits you, your interests, passion, personality and schedule. If you are blessed to be in a position to volunteer, ABCCM needs you. All you have to do is talk to one of our volunteers, which we are gald to share with you. You are likely to hear that volunteering at ABCCM is one of the most rewarding experiences of their life. Learn more about ABCCM’s ministry services and find the right place for you to use your talents, passions and interests to make a positive impact on the lives of people in your community.

 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. -Matthew 25:35-40

The Costello House is a generous gift from the Costello Family Foundation to bring hope and good news to homeless men in our community. ABCCM needs churches to come together again, as they have so many times, to solve an urgent need in our community. Please contact volunteer@abccm.org

Special Events

ABCCM hosts a variety of special events throughout the year.  These events are essential to informing our community of the many services ABCCM provides, while also helping raise funds for ABCCM's many areas of ministry. We need people to assist with event planning, setup, decorating, and day of coordination. To serve in one of these areas, please contact Caleb Bradshaw, Volunteer Administrator, at (828) 398-6836 or email volunteer@abccm.org.
