Empowering Families, Transforming Lives
We Support Low-Income Families in Making Positive
Changes and Confronting the Causes of Poverty
Who We Are
ABLE Families is a nonprofit faith-based agency founded in 1995 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wheeling. ABLE is an acronym for Affirming, Believing, Learning, and Empowering.
We focus on family empowerment in the rural Tug Valley area of northern Mingo County, West Virginia. We help people caught in the net of poverty gain more control of their lives. We focus on women and children because they suffer most severely from the effects of poverty.
This is Our Mission
Our mission is “to confront the systemic causes of poverty by supporting low-income families as they make positive changes in their lives.” ABLE Families is committed to collaboration, not duplication.
