ABBA List

ABBA List is a 501(c)3 non-profit organized to offer programs that benefit people in need. August 2010 was when the ABBA List Resource Website was launched.

The ABBA List is organized to offer programs that benefit people in need. The website lists free support resources available in local churches and in the community of Chesapeake, Virginia, and the surrounding area. In September 2012, the ABBA List was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)3 public charity and the first board of directors began their monthly meetings. January 2013, the Chesapeake Area She

lter Team (CAST), launched providing emergency overnight winter shelter to the homeless in local churches that hosted one week at a time. Eight winter seasons later, 20 churches hosted 22 weeks (5 months!) averaging 40+ guests per night.... men, women, and families. God provides and His people that answered the call to serve are blessed indeed! The 2021-2022 seasons were handled differently due to the pandemic. If interested in learning more, email [email protected]. Each of these programs is a ministry; a calling from God. Each seemed impossible, yet nothing is impossible for God. Donations are gratefully accepted. Checks are payable to:
ABBA List, PO Box 16325, Chesapeake, VA 23328

God bless you!

Cold weather will be here before we know it — and CAST is already preparing.
Each winter, CAST works alongside local churches and community partners to provide warmth, meals, shelter and support for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
And it truly takes a community. 💙
As we prepare for the upcoming winter season, we would love to connect with more churches, civic organizations, clubs and community groups interested in helping serve.

Now is the time to get involved and help us prepare for the cold months ahead.

💙 A Sunday Reminder About the Power of Community
Sometimes helping our neighbors starts with something very simple — opening a door.
That’s what the Chesapeake Area Shelter Team (CAST) is all about.

Churches, volunteers, organizations and community partners come together to provide a safe place, a meal, kindness and dignity to neighbors experiencing homelessness in Chesapeake.

As we prepare for another season of serving, we are incredibly grateful for everyone who has already stepped forward — and there is always room for more. 💙
Your church, organization or group can make a difference. Whether it's hosting, volunteering, providing meals or supporting the mission in another way, every act of service matters.

Because when Chesapeake takes care of Chesapeake, good things happen.

Air Conditioning...grateful.♥️

For many in our community, escaping the summer heat isn't as simple as turning down the thermostat. Some are spending today outdoors, in their cars, or without a cool place to rest.

Look out for one another--check on elderly neighbor, offer bottled water or support organizations such as CAST that provide shelter.

💙 Stay cool. Stay grateful. Support our community.
