From December through March, we distribute winter coats to children and adults, and during the holiday season, we provide holiday meals and gifts for those most in need.
If you need notary services, we’re here for that, too.

GIVE BACK BY VOLUNTEERING
ABCD could not do what we do without the help of passionate volunteers. Join us for a day-long project, help out at a major event, or lend a hand on a regular basis. You’ll make a world of difference to our neighbors in need.
NEIGHBORHOOD ROOTS
ABCD is a part of your neighborhood. Each of our locations has a Neighborhood Advisory Board whose members keep us in touch with your community’s current issues, needs and goals. Interested in serving on the advisory board? Have questions or comments? Call or email us anytime.
