“We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 2008 with the goal of strengthening communities by using a unique approach. We take new social ideas, incubate them, and scale them into sustainable projects.”

“A better society (abs) continued its leadership in delivering high-impact projects that strengthen and connect our community. Project life-cycle, abs's first initiative launched in 2008, remains one of our most meaningful efforts. In 2024, the program provided over 540 bikes to individuals in need. Volunteers played a key role by repairing and restoring bikes donated by community members, ensuring access to basic transportation for many throughout the county. Through our mobile bike repair clinics, abs offered free repairs at seven community events, helping fix 262 bikes and keeping residents safely on the move. Abs also hosted three fix-it clinics, where volunteers helped community members repair household items-reducing waste and promoting sustainability. In partnership with carver county, abs took a leadership role in developing the carver county family resource center (frc). This multi-year collaboration brings together organizations and agencies to provide essential services and support for families. Located in chaska, the frc serves as a welcoming hub where families and caregivers can access trusted resources and build meaningful connections that help them thrive.”
