Acts 4 Ministry strives to partner with churches, social service agencies, and public schools to help identify and serve people in need. Their Thomaston Avenue building includes a store environment where people identified by these organizations as having immediate needs can select clothing, furniture and household items. Individuals and families can visit the store to personally select clothing, dishes, glassware, furnishings, and other basic needs at no charge. “These individuals are frequently referred to us by other charitable organizations as people who have suddenly lost their homes,” explained Carabetta. “We provide them with an atmosphere which preserves their dignity and allows them to walk around our store to select what they personally need vs. being handed clothing or furnishings they do not desire. This is a respectful environment where everyone is treated with caring support.” To learn more, visit www.acts4.org or call 203-574-2287. End
