Aby Cares

Impacting Our Community with Love, Compassion & Service

We Are a Matthew 25 Church

Through AbyCares, we feed the hungry, clothe the needy, and care for God’s people with compassion.

When the Government Shuts Down, God's People Stand Up

Beloved, these are extraordinary times. With the government shutdown, job losses, and SNAP benefits in jeopardy, families in our community are struggling to put food on the table—especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.


As a Matthew 25 church, we feed the hungry and care for "the least of these." Just as Jesus fed the 5,000 with two fish and five loaves, God is calling us to bring what we have so He can multiply it.

Join us in giving to help feed families, provide meals for children, and restore dignity and hope to our neighbors.
