ACTS History

Area Churches Together Serving (ACTS) began serving clients on August 4, 1986 with sixteen local churches participating. It was obvious in the beginning that there was a need for an organization such as ACTS. Presently, there are approximately 66 churches involved in the work that we do.

Volunteers serve the Lord by handling the needs of people who come to ACTS.  An attempt is made to meet both the physical and spiritual needs when clients are interviewed. They are encouraged to become part of a church on their choice, thus making that church aware of their needs.

A daily morning prayer is conducted and Client are invited to join in if they choose to do so.

Since our founding, we have provided:

• Food for more than 2 million meals
• Clothing for more than 59,000 individuals
• House wares for more than 5,600 families
• Utility assistance for more than 9,995 homes
• Furniture for more than 3,300 homes

Many people in our area are within one paycheck or less of financial trouble.  Many need food, clothing, warmth, prescription medicine, home furnishings, or additional assistance. Reaching out in Christ's name to those among us who need a helping hand is ACTS mission.
