Mission
All Blessings Flow is a local faith-based nonprofit founded to improve the quality of life of families living with disabilities and serious health conditions. Our primary mission is to promote health equity, improve access, and reduce health disparities by providing healthcare items to those in need in Charlottesville and Central Virginia. Our program is based on a simple idea: we live in a prosperous area with excellent healthcare facilities and a wealth of used medical equipment that many people no longer need or want. Our vision is that by redistributing this equipment to those in need, something that once blessed you or your loved one can now become a blessing for someone else. One blessing becomes another and - all blessings flow.

What we aim to solve
The problem we seek to address is inequitable access to healthcare. More specifically, the inequities related to medical equipment and supplies. As our mission states, we based our program on a simple idea: we live in an area of prosperity and excellent healthcare facilities, with a wealth of used medical equipment that many people no longer use or want. We must collect that unwanted equipment and redistribute it to those who desperately need it but cannot afford it. It’s a simple idea, but not necessarily an easy one. It requires the development of a community network of partner organizations on both the supply and demand sides of the equation. For our program to work, we must connect with those who have equipment and supplies to donate, but more importantly, we must identify and make connections with those in need of our services.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
All Blessings Flow
The All Blessings Flow program collects, refurbishes, and redistributes medical equipment and supplies to those in need in Charlottesville and Central Virginia. Our clients are primarily families who are uninsured or underinsured, representing many underserved groups in our community, including seniors, rural residents, and people of color. We serve all disabilities and all ages, including many children, but over 60% of our clients are seniors. ABF began operations in 2015, and as of December 2022, we have helped over 18,000 families and given out over 85,000 items of medical equipment and supplies.
All Blessings Flow is also a Green program that strives to improve the environment of our community at-large through repurposing and recycling materials that might otherwise be thrown away. To date, we have kept over 750,000 pounds of medical equipment and waste from our local landfills.
All Blessings Flow Medical Equipment Mission
Our flagship program services usually begin with referrals from social workers and healthcare professionals. These caring partners know the needs and refer us to their clients. At that point, we conduct personal interviews with clients and caregivers. Our interviewers complete a needs assessment and equipment request. With all the equipment available on-site, the exact item(s) are readied for immediate pick-up, which often includes training in the proper use of the equipment.
On the supply side of our operation, collected equipment first goes to processing and inspection. Each item is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by hand or using a high-pressure washing system. After cleaning, many items need repairs, and our technicians ensure that all equipment is safe and in good working order. After completing repairs or if no repairs are needed, items are stocked and organized by category, for quick retrieval. Once received, these items help our clients live safer and healthier lives.
ABF Kids - Pediatric Program
Our ABF Kids pediatric program involves close collaboration with UVA healthcare professionals, including two of our volunteer program coordinators, who are pediatric therapists at UVA Children's Hospital. We also work closely with the Blue Ridge Care Connection for Children to help needy families access medical services targeted to their child's special healthcare needs. In addition to being very individualized for children based on their sizes and disabilities, pediatric equipment and adaptive items are often large and heavy, requiring more floor space. In 2021 and 2022, we expanded our ABF Kids area to accommodate more specialized equipment, so we can be ready to help more children with their unique needs. For example, one recent client was a two-year-old boy with CP who needed expensive adaptive equipment to strengthen his legs to learn to walk, but his family could not afford it. We provided the exact equipment he needed, and with assistance, he was able to take his first steps.
ABF Mobile - Rural Outreach Program
This community-based initiative promotes healthcare access by delivering our services to underserved rural populations in the region. Each year, ABF serves hundreds of needy rural families by providing medical equipment and supplies they desperately need. Unfortunately, many families lose access to these resources due to distance, travel costs, and lack of public transportation. The ABF Mobile program brings our services directly to these localities. Our driver/site leader sets up the mobile trailer unit one day each week at neighborhood sites in five rural counties. Items are readied and loaded at the warehouse and delivered to scheduled clients at the various sites. The trailer is also stocked with some of our most-requested items for walk-in clients. Each site operates in collaboration with a local church or civic group. These local partners coordinate with volunteers from each neighborhood to help facilitate the program.

How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.
-
Who are the people you serve with your mission?
Our clients are primarily low-income families living with disabilities. These underserved neighbors often feel marginalized, neglected, and without a voice. Such feelings are magnified if the person is living with a disability or serious health condition. ABF has tried to reach out to these individuals from the outset and give voice to their needs by using established communication lines. We have held meetings and focus groups. But, by far, the most effective means of connecting with those who need us is through personal interviews. We ask questions to better understand their needs, but perhaps most importantly, we listen. As a result, clients are treated with respect and care through personal interaction and individual attention. By doing so, we give voice to their stories.
-
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?
To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
-
What significant change resulted from feedback?
One recurring story we heard from our rural clients was their difficulty in traveling to our main facility in Charlottesville. They spoke of travel time, fuel costs, and lack of public transportation, which caused them to wait days, and sometimes weeks, to receive desperately needed items. They also reported neighbors who needed our services but who did not reach out due to their geographic location. In 2022, we decided to launch our rural outreach program mainly as a response to these stories. The pilot test phase of this initiative included setting up our mobile unit at a different site each weekday. Based on data and client feedback, we selected sites in the five localities with the greatest needs, and enlisted local churches to help us reach out and connect with their neighbors.
-
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?
We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback, We ask the people who gave us feedback how well they think we responded
-
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?
It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback, We don’t have the right technology to collect and aggregate feedback efficiently, The people we serve tell us they find data collection burdensome, It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection, Staff find it hard to prioritize feedback collection and review due to lack of time

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
