Ways to Help

---

 Drop off clean, hole-free plastic or paper bags during office hours or add to the outside bag barrel anytime. We can also use strong, handled Aldi-style bags for home deliveries. 

 We encourage you to fill a gift bag with party items, such as cake mix, icing, party hats, supplies, decorations, small gift, etc. Bags are given to clients having a birthday.

 Order your pet supplies from Chewy and they will donate $20 to BACM. Go to www.chewy.com/rp/10182 to register. 

 Do you own or manage a store nearby? Consider donating your surplus foods, items close to expiring, products that didn't meet quality control but didn't affect the food, etc. Thanks to Leach's Meats & Sweets, Giant Eagle, Big Lots, Dollar General & Sheetz! 

Drop your spare change in the coin jars around town; Leach's Meats & Sweet and Enchanted Cafe.  During 2024, we raised $557

We are open to new coin jar locations. Let us know if we can add a BACM collection jar to your business counter.

 Facebook users can create a fundraiser to benefit BACM. From your menu page, select Community Resources, Select Fundraisers, tap raise money, search Nonprofit for Barberton Area Community Ministries. Then encourage your friends & family to donate. 

 We encourage the community to fill brown paper bags with essential toiletries in January & February to be given to families visiting the pantry.  We received 509 bags in 2024! 

People Check and Block 7 Bar & Grill hosted an amazing 4th Annual Poker Run. Thank you to Titanium Sponsor VFW Post 1066 Barberton for their support. Thank you to all who donated, attended & supported this event.

Another successful BACM Bingo fundraiser! Thank you to all of our guests, volunteers, donors & supporters. Mark your calendar for the next event Wed. March 19, 2025.

 Would you like to make a donation, but you are unable to deliver to us? Consider placing an order through Instacart, DoorDash, or Amazon and have items delivered directly to BACM, 939 Norton Ave, Barberton OH 44203.

  Local gardeners and farmers are welcome to donate their extra fresh veggies to BACM. Please drop off Mon-Thur 9am-Noon. Due to safe handling concerns, we cannot accept 

milk, cheese or eggs. 

 BACM does not spend donated funds on toiletries or paper goods. We will gladly accept donations from the community; such as toilet paper, soap, shampoo, laundry soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste. 

  BACM volunteers & local political groups manned the Beer Garden at the Barberton Labor Day BBQ & Music Festival. Thank you for your help. A portion of the sales were given to BACM Food Pantry.

Members of the Barberton Moose Lodge #759 have selected BACM as their charity to benefit from club bingo sales. Each time members play at the Moose, they are benefitting BACM.

 Please donate your Acme Fresh Market receipts from Aug 1, 2024 - Feb 15, 2025. When you purchase store brands, Acme will share 5% of your spending with BACM.
