Abby’s House accomplishes its work with broad and solid grassroots support – nearly half of our operating budget is provided by individuals and community groups. Over 200 trained and dedicated volunteers join our small paid staff to provide a lifeline of programs and services for women and children living in poverty. We are in this for the long haul, and we invite you to join us in our commitment to empower women to lead self-directed lives filled with dignity and hope.

Abby's House provides public education on the issues affecting the women we serve through speaking engagements in the greater Worcester area.  If you are interested in booking a speaker please call Alex Kartheiser at (508) 756-5486 ext. 35.

Abby's is Going Green!
We are developing an email database of our constituents so we can send e-newsletters and save trees. Please send your current email to Alex Kartheiser at alex@abbyshouse.org.
