Changing Lives from the Other Side of the Fence
Another Blessed Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in faith and driven by lived experience. Founded by Tony Barnes — who knows firsthand what it means to overcome homelessness and crisis — ABM delivers real, hands-on restoration to Richmond's most vulnerable.
We don't just hand out resources. We walk alongside people through our 4-Domain Life Coaching model, addressing Personal, Social, Economic, and Spiritual needs — because lasting change requires the whole picture.
How We Restore Lives
Scars to Stars Life Coaching
Our signature 12–16 week program transforms trauma into leadership through 4-domain coaching: Personal, Social, Economic, and Spiritual.
Vocational Mentorship
Career training, digital literacy, and workforce development that leads to real jobs with real wages — $18–$26/hr entry level.
Animal Welfare
Emergency food, vet care, spay/neuter services, and family preservation — because our cuddly friends who can't speak for themselves deserve compassion too.
Community Resource Exchange
Weekly mobile outreach delivering food, clothing, hygiene kits, and household goods to 150–200 individuals and 40–60 families.
Recovery & Restoration
Recovery coaching, family stability programs, and long-term aftercare that addresses the root causes — not just the symptoms.
The Hope Hub
Our flagship 7,000–12,000 sq ft permanent facility in Richmond — a community hub for all programs under one roof. Grand Opening: June 13, 2026 at the Great Community Exchange.

Stories That Prove It Works
“I was sleeping under a bridge. ABM didn't just give me a meal — they gave me a coach, a plan, and a reason to believe I could be more. Today I'm employed, housed, and mentoring others who were where I was.”
Marcus
Scars to Stars Graduate
“When we almost lost our dog Max because we couldn't afford vet care, ABM stepped in. They didn't just help Max — they connected us with housing resources and coaching. Our whole family is stable now.”
