All Blessings Flow is a nonprofit organization that provides medical equipment and supplies to adults and children in need throughout Charlottesville, Virginia and surrounding counties. All Blessings Flow's clients are primarily low-income families representing many underserved groups in surrounding communities, including seniors, and rural residents. All are living with some form of disability or serious health condition, and all are in need of love and charity. All Blessings Flow's program is based on a simple idea: we live in a prosperous area with excellent healthcare facilities and a wealth of used medical equipment that many people no longer need or want. By redistributing this equipment to those in need, something that once blessed you or your loved one can now become a blessing for someone else. One blessing becomes another at All Blessings Flow.
