Albuquerque Christian Children's Home
For more than fifty years, Albuquerque Christian Children's Home has been dedicated to offering a safe, nurturing home for children who have been neglected, abused, or are in need of supervision.

Albuquerque Community Safety
With our partners in the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association and members of the Albuquerque community, MVCC has hosted the monthly assembly of care kits for the homeless. The care kits are vitally important to the work of ACA as they serve as ice-breakers when they're called out in a crisis situation. More information about ACS can be found at Albuquerque Community Safety — City of Albuquerque.

New Mexico Boys & Girls Ranch (The Ranches)
Since 1944, The New Mexico Boys & Girls Ranch ("The Ranches") has offered a unique combination of family-stle living in a rural ranch environment. The organization has evolved over the years from a single building, to include a large ranch south of Belen, NM that is home to struggling youth that promotes opportunity and meaningful help for struggling children and their families. Their multi-denominational Christian programs offer kids a safe place to live, a personalized plan to address their needs and goals, and individualized education and counseling. They offer families help through services such as crisis management, family counseling and parent skills training. For years, MVCC members have provided Christmas gifts for the children through our Angel Tree project.
