BACM was created, in part, because many overlapping and uncoordinated food pantries and aid programs created opportunities for waste and fraud.  Many local churches have found it advisable to check with BACM when they receive a request for aid at their church door. 

Sometimes BACM has assisted the household in question, or has screened them on previous               occasions and can make a recommendation as to the benefits or risks of assisting the household.

Sometimes BACM is aware of particular scams or situations that have caused trouble for other churches.           

Sometimes BACM can assist you in finding the right solution for the problem at hand, including beneficial services in the community.  

Some churches and groups decide to assist a family with BACM pitching in with additional aid. 

BACM’s trained staff are well-versed in services available throughout the Summit County area.  Call us to learn where to go, what to do. 

We are happy to help.
