About NCServes

Founded in Asheville in 1969, the ABCCM is a Christian community consortium that has grown to be supported by over 300 churches of ALL denominations with a force of over 6,000 trained volunteers operating in 24 Western North Carolina counties. It is the vision and hands-on, community based experience of ABCCM leadership that led to the founding of Veterans Services of the Carolinas.  A powerful force for good, the ABCCM stimulates doing together what individual congregations and individuals cannot do separately.

We accomplish this through these ministries: Crisis Ministry, Jail Ministry,  Medical Ministry, Transformation Village,  Veterans Restoration Quarters, Veteran Services of the Carolinas, and Recovery Living Center.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services manages the delivery of health and human related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable people – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families. The Department works closely with health care professionals, community leaders, advocacy groups, local, state and federal entities and many other stakeholders to make this happen.

SAMHSA and Veterans Administration guidance and support have allowed the Division of Mental Health to be the primary funder in support of the development and growth of NCServes from a Walmart Foundation funded pilot project with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University into the Nations First integrated community care network for Veterans. This demonstration led to the adoption of the NCCARE360 platform by the State of North Carolina.

Western North Carolina’s LME/MCO, Vaya Health manages services for people with behavioral health (mental health and substance use), I/DD, and TBI in 32 counties across North Carolina. Beginning in 2024, Vaya Health also will manage physical health and pharmacy services for Medicaid.  

The story of NCServes does not happen without the leadership and professionalism of VAYA Health, they have been a full strategic partner and financial supporter since inception. Their understanding of the complex Medicaid, Federal and State funding mechanisms has been invaluable throughout the entire process of building the Nation’s First Fully Integrated Community Care Network for Veterans and their Families here in NC.

Veterans Services of the Carolinas was founded in 2017 by Brandon Wilson and other combat Veterans, for Veterans. Defying odds and defining expectations, the VSC has harnessed our Veterans spirit to service to create the most comprehensive Veterans Services Organization in the State of North Carolina.  

The warriors at VSC bring over 350 years of combined military service with and equal number of years in higher education to administer EVERY program for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families in the Federal inventory in EVERY county in North Carolina.

Leading the way in 2014, Veterans Bridge Home (VBH) served as the incubator and home to the first NCServes network – Metrolina, serving the Charlotte region, and beyond through NCServes Central Carolina. Veterans Bridge Home connects Veterans and their families, in any state of transition, to the community.

VBH continues to lead the community towards making Charlotte a national model of public-private partnerships that assist in transitioning our nation's returning Veterans.
