The pandemic has shown the increased need for the services we provide, and with your help, we will ensure that 1010 East Avenue continues to be a home for our community. We've come a long way with the Better Together campaign and thanks to your generosity, 1010 is currently under construction! Check in to see the progress by watching the livestream of construction below.
We started the Better Together Campaign in 2015. Fast forward through years of planning and fundraising to finishing work on Phase 1 (infrastructure work our main church building). Then, we had to move the finish line to Bring It Home and raise more funds due to an unexpected increase in construction costs and a pandemic. Now, we are finally working to make the Community Outreach Center a home for our community. Watch the videos below for an update on construction.

The economic challenges brought on by the pandemic have meant that more people than ever are in need of essential services, with likely more to come. When someone needs to get back on their feet, they often need multiple services: from a physical to a haircut, to an outfit for an interview for the job itself, to food in their bellies.
Thanks to your generosity, the Community Outreach Center is reaching more people than ever.
We would love to hear from you. Please contact us at bettertogether@asburyfirst.org.
