As we enter this sacred season of reflection and giving, the Adventist Community Services (ACS) 403 Center pauses to say thank you. Thank you for every prayer, every donated item, every hour volunteered, and every act of kindness shared in the name of service.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” — 1 Peter 4:10
Because of God’s grace and your generosity, our doors remain open—and our hearts remain full—as we serve neighbors in need throughout the year.
We are deeply thankful for our donors, supporters, and volunteers whose faithful generosity sustains this ministry. Your gifts—both financial and tangible—help us provide food, care, and encouragement to individuals and families facing hardship.
A special word of appreciation also goes to our ACS Board Members, whose vision, leadership, and prayerful support strengthen our work daily. Your dedication ensures that we remain faithful stewards of the mission entrusted to us.
This year, we celebrate a wonderful new chapter of community partnership. Our center received a generous grant from Cumberland Landing CARES, enabling us to continue offering healthy, nutritious food to those experiencing food insecurity. What a blessing!
We are also grateful to the Nashville Praise Symphony, who recently filled the Madison Campus Church with beautiful music on Sabbath, November 22. The love offering from that event went directly to supporting ACS 403 Center. A heartfelt thank you to Daniel, whose leadership and coordination made that event truly special.
We are continually inspired by the faith in action shown by our local Seventh-day Adventist churches, clubs, and schools. Their generous food drives have kept our shelves stocked and spirits high, allowing us to serve more families with dignity and care this holiday season.
Special thanks go to Megan and the Madison Campus Adventure Club, whose Christmas-wrapped hygiene and food kits brought warmth and joy just as winter set in.
We are also grateful for Ms. Faith and her two volunteer teams from the Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia, as well as Mr. Smith and the young men from Madison Academy, who spent hours serving others. Your joyful willingness to help is truly a gift.
We recently gathered for our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch—a joyful time to honor the selfless individuals who keep our ministry running all year long. Your compassion, reliability, and servant hearts are the hands and feet of Christ in our community.
Not long ago, a local family faced sudden job loss and mounting medical bills. When they came to ACS, they felt uncertain and overwhelmed. Through food assistance, encouragement, and resource connections, this family found renewed strength and hope. As they left, they shared: “The kindness we experienced reminded us we’re not alone.”
Stories like this remind us why we serve—and how your generosity helps transform lives.
We’d love for you to visit the ACS 403 Center! Come meet our team, see how compassion is changing lives in Madison, and discover how you can get involved—through volunteering, giving, or prayer. There’s a place for everyone in this mission of love.
