Come live dangerously! ☕📚

Coffee keeps you up. Books convince you that one more chapter won’t hurt. At Abi’s, we proudly offer both paths to sleep deprivation.

Choose your own adventure or combine them for maximum consequences.

RVA.support is a community-built guide to finding help in Richmond.

As we repair and distribute laptops, prepare for our RVA Community Fridges, and talk with those in need, we wanted to highlight and make available the many mutual-aid projects already doing good across our city.

Alongside a printed guide, we've created RVA.Support as a living, searchable directory; one that can be reviewed, updated, and strengthened by the community it serves.

Know of a resource or mutual-aid project that should be included?

We received a donation of books recently, including this set of Harry Potter. The books are in really good shape so we bundled them up for $49.99, which will go to He She Ze and We

Or you can skip buying the set and donate directly to the organization if you want. 😉

Why Pay $16.99 when you can get It here for $6.99...?

Fresh arrivals (and books we find too interesting) land by the bar before making their way to the shelves. You’ll find everything from Dune and Republic of Fear to Welcoming the Stranger, the New Women of the Old West, Hauntings, and other unexpected discoveries.

David Sax’s The Revenge of Analog is among them and is a timely reminder that convenience isn’t everything:

“The world is analog, and digital is always a representation.”

Screens have their place, but so does paper, conversation & shared spaces. Come find that real book you didn’t know you needed. Pair it with a coffee for a perfect day...

Join RVA Primal Yawp on July 29 at 7pm at Abi’s for a conversation about survival in literature.

We’ll discuss favorites like Wolf and Iron, Hatchet, My Side of the Mountain, the Sign of the Beaver, and the Knowledge.

No required reading. Come ready to talk about forgotten skills, realistic survival, self-reliance, community, and what it truly means to "survive".

With our community fridge coming soon, we’ll be able to offer food, hot coffee, and iced coffee, but needs go beyond a meal or a drink.

A working laptop or tablet can mean access to job applications, housing resources, school, benefits, email and more.

We’ve helped people with devices before, and we were asked this morning to help again.

If you have an older laptop or tablet sitting unused, please consider donating it through The Milena Chapter, Abi’s nonprofit vehicle. Your donation is tax-deductible but more importantly, it will help someone in need.
