All Blessings Flow

The most recent Community Health Needs Assessment for our local health district revealed that limited access to healthcare resources affects thousands of Central Virginia residents. The lack of desperately needed healthcare items leads to more significant health disparities for our most vulnerable neighbors. To address this problem in 2023, All Blessings Flow acquired 39124 items of used medical equipment and medical supplies valued at $2,251,619 which were carefully cleaned, repaired, and refurbished for redistribution. During the year, the organization distributed 35,457 items of used medical equipment and supplies valued at $2,217,017. The organization distributed items free-of-charge to 8,244 uninsured or under-insured adults and children with disabilities and health impairments from 77 different cities and counties within the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond. The Pediatric portion of our program "ABF Kids" involves close collaboration with University of Virginia (UVA) healthcare professionals, including pediatric therapists at UVA Children's Hospital. The organization also works in partnership with UVA's "Blue Ridge Care Connection for Children" program to help needy families access medical services targeted to their child's unique healthcare needs. Blessed with an extensive inventory, we can provide families with pediatric equipment and adaptive items individualized for children based on their sizes and disabilities. In 2023, the organization also fully established ABF Mobile, a community outreach initiative to improve rural healthcare access by delivering our services to undeserved rural populations. Our mobile trailer unit travels and sets up one day each week at neighborhood sites in five surrounding counties. We collaborate with church partners in each county, with volunteers from local churches working alongside our site leader to help facilitate the program and reach more families in need. The equipment resources we provide through all segments of our program help children, adults, seniors, and their families lead safer, healthier, and happier lives.

The organization has developed a digital Disability Resource Guide which brings together a comprehensive network of resources committed to providing the tools, services, and support needed to improve the quality of life of every adult, senior, or child living with a disability in our community. With 16 different categories and over 400 links to vendors and agencies, the guide consolidates invaluable resources covering all forms of disability including physical, intellectual, developmental, sensory, and/or mental challenges. Our vision is to provide individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with an easy way to connect to our area's many excellent resources. In addition, the resource guide generates revenue that helps to support our mission through corporate sponsorships. Collectively, our sponsors paid $13,500 total for the privilege of adding their name and logo to the site. Sponsorship is not a requirement to be listed on the site. Volunteers develop and maintain the resource guide. The Disability Resource Guide is located at httpwwwdisabilityresourcesunitedorg
