I am currently in the last 2 months of the Budget for Life program and I must say it has been life changing. It’s really a program that every and anyone can benefit from. I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate and I’ve also met some life long friends. My case manager and financial coach were THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

I am sorry for all of you who are having difficulties with this ministry my experience was different and I am looking for help again. 2 years ago I was renting a house and fell behind and needed help. The process was like any other process where you need help. I believe I drove down there because it was difficult getting through on the phone. I did intake and was given an appointment to come back with all my paperwork so I would suggest bringing everything with you Birth Certificates, social cards, rent or utility bill, income info, other residents info etc. Anywhere you go for help you will need all the same documents . They help with a huge portion of my rent buy I needed to come up with the rest and show a receipt for paying that portion and they will issue a check for the balance. The experience was painless. And quick. It was worth what ever hoops you have to jump through. From what I see it says temporarily closed but when you call it says fill out online application. If you are getting a hold of scammers then someone has hacked their website because this organization is a Godsend. It was 2019 when I got assistance. I will update with my experience this go round.

Horrible SCAM! Beware that the five-star reviews are all posted by this groups of scammers, hackers. They post as if they are providing utility bill assistance, and if you buy their fraud and apply, they collect (now online) all your life information, then pretend to "following up" by two phone-calls within 10 minutes (all in night hours so you will not pick up the phone) then suggesting "we cancelled your appointment because you did not respond to our phonecalls). They did it to me four times. After followed a barrage of Nigerian scammers calling for various fraudulent purposes. BCM has nothing to do with "Christianity." They are notorious scammers and soon will face jail time.

They were given access to federal funds to share with the community for housing and utilities. I went through the city and was referred to them three months ago. I never received a call or email. I wonder who got the hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even access. No return active #, and a closed door. United Way, the City Of Atlanta, and them are no surprise to this 30 year resident of the city. We will hear about a scam sooner or later involving them....this exactly how this has repeatedly and sadly become the norm.

I am so thankful that Buckhead Christian Ministries was able to help me in the month of November when all odds was against me. It was hard to get through but if you really need the help you will keep calling until you get someone. I realize they are very busy so they aren't always able to answer the phones while working to help someone else. But I got through after calling back to back for 45min on the second day. Once I am able to help myself financially, I will definitely come here and give back because they are a blessing to many people out here struggling and trying to make ends meet. The food pantry is also great along with supplies you might need such as tissue, tooth paste, and other bathroom supplies.
