Another Blessed Ministry
Another Blessed Ministry (ABM) is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Richmond, Virginia, dedicated to restoring dignity, stability, and hope to individuals, families, and animals in crisis.
Founded by Tony Barnes, ABM operates on the belief that no one should be left behind. We provide a holistic, faith-integrated model of restoration through our four core pillars:
Scars to Stars Life Coaching: A 12–16 week evidence-based program moving participants from stabilization to leadership and economic activation.
Community Resource Exchange: Weekly distribution of food, clothing, and hygiene kits to hundreds of families across Richmond.
Animal Welfare: Emergency pet resources and veterinary support in partnership with the Humane Society.
The Hope Hub: Our permanent 7,000+ sq. ft. facility, designed as a launchpad for transformation.
🚀 UPCOMING EVENT: Join us on June 13, 2026, at Fonticello Carter Jones Park for the Great Community Exchange. This is our Grand Opening celebration and a day of service for the entire community.
We are building the Kingdom on faith and strategy. We invite local businesses, donors, and volunteers to partner with us as we expand our impact.

Another Blessed Ministry was born out of a personal journey of overcoming adversity. It began with a moment of prayer for guidance and strength in the face of my own hardships—financial struggles and an overwhelming sense of isolation.
In that moment of surrender, I felt a powerful sense of divine purpose. I realized that my struggles were a testament to the hardships faced by many in our community, particularly those experiencing homelessness. Inspired by this new purpose, I dedicated my time and resources to helping others navigate similar storms, turning my vulnerability into a mission to uplift and empower.
This journey is a reminder that we are all called to serve and that even in our darkest hours, we can find the strength to be a blessing to others.
