Partners

MISSION: To offer hope, compassion, service and advocacy to the low-income residents in Barberton and Norton, through the collaboration of partnering churches, community groups, businesses, and individuals.

Partnership

As a community-based organization we firmly believe in addressing local needs with local resources.

Our partners are individuals, churches, civic organizations, businesses and foundations. Each partner provides a valuable resource to BACM.

Their commitment may involve food donations, volunteer involvement and/or financial support. BACM partners with local churches, community groups and businesses to provide the information and services we offer.
