“This place taught me how to talk and how to have a relationship with God.”
– Heather, Abba’s House Graduate
This month, we celebrated the graduation of four amazing women from our residential programs! Three of the women were mothers in our ABBA’s House program and one graduated from the Women of Worth (W.O.W.) Program. We are honored to support them as they grow into all God calls them to be, as they discover the difference between survival and a fulfilling life, and to walk in the knowledge that they are worthy.

Good Friday Holds a Special Place in Our Hearts | We started the day with the 21st Walk Humbly Good Friday Foot Care Clinic providing podiatry care, socks, and shoes to more than 120 individuals. We even had a volunteer give free haircuts! To close the evening, we were blessed to serve a special Easter dinner, spreading love and kindness to those in need. | |
Volunteers and staff washed feet and gave foot massages, AdventHealth Hendersonville, Appalachian Mountain Health, and Fleet Feet Asheville provided podiatry care and generous donations. | |
An Easter banquet was served restaurant-style by volunteers, featuring giveaways and a menu with smoked turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, spring vegetables, buttered biscuits, and sweet treats for dessert! | |
ABBA's House Moms Ran With Their Crosses | |
Pole Creek Baptist Church in Candler, NC, brought back the unforgettable Carry Your Cross 5K. Participants experienced the unique challenge of carrying a 4ft 2X4 across their backs for the race's final climb, deeply connecting them with Easter's meaning. It was a blessing to have the mamas and babies from ABBA’s House there to support the runners. | |
Their annual fundraiser not only raised funds for the ABBA’s House Recovery Program, but it also brought the community together to physically and spiritually honor Jesus. We are so proud of the participants who ran in the 5K and carried their cross to the finish line. | |
A Magical Day Hopping With Joy and Laughter | |
We are bursting with gratitude for our incredible supporters who have such big hearts, especially for the children we serve! Our little ones enjoyed receiving Easter baskets and surprises for their egg hunt, specially made by our amazing friends. | Special thanks to Stephen Kovalcik from the Asheville Fire Dept and his wife Malory Knox, as the moms and kids were treated to a visit from the Easter bunny, bringing even more smiles and happiness to our community! | |

Sinclair Day of Service with WLOS ABC 13
We were thrilled to host the incredible team from WLOS ABC 13 for their Sinclair Day of Service. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and made a real difference in our community. Volunteers from the news station poured their hearts into painting our women's center, lending their talents to brighten our space. They also jumped in to assist with food boxes, ensuring that families in need have access to essential meals.
| |
The WLOS team also served by preparing and serving a delicious lunch for our residents and neighbors. Their kindness and dedication truly touched our hearts. We feel deeply honored that WLOS chose to partner with us for their Day of Service. Together, we're creating positive change and spreading hope. Thank you, WLOS, for your invaluable support and generosity! | |
Dozens of volunteers help serve in various areas of need at the mission each week. Volunteer Patsy Morrison can be found working in the shelter's clothing closet weekly. Check out this news story from WLOS to learn more about the importance of volunteers. | |

"It's just the simple things that we often take for granted that mean a lot to them, and being a part of it is a blessing to me.”
