Beyond NFCC Scholar

👋 Meet the people behind our Client Programs! You've heard about the work we do. Now, let's introduce you to some of the people who make it happen! 🤗 We're opening up the NFCC photo album to share a few behind-the-scenes moments from throughout the year featuring our Client Programs team! For many neighbors seeking assistance, their journey begins at the Barbara Duffy Center, where our intake team, Diana, Jill and Karina, helps them navigate their first steps. From there, our bilingual case managers, Ruth, Myriam and Cindy, work with neighbors to understand their circumstances, explore available resources and help them move toward greater financial stability. And we can't forget our amazing volunteers! Liz, Peter, Nancie, Mikel and Eugenia are just a few of the dedicated people who give their time to help welcome and support our neighbors. Led by Wynona, VP of Client Programs, this team also includes our Education and Workforce Development programs, which we'll be highlighting in the coming weeks! As part of our 35 Days of Giving, we're going BEYOND the programs to introduce the people, relationships and everyday moments that make our mission possible. Because behind every service we provide are people who care. 💙💚 #35DaysOfGiving #NFCCHelp #MeetTheTeam #TogetherWeCan

We kicked off 35 Days of Giving with some of the people helping shape NFCC’s future! 💙💚🧡 Today, our Board of Directors gathered to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, hear updates from across our programs and look ahead at what’s next for NFCC. As our community’s needs continue to evolve, so do the ways we’re working to meet them. That means thinking beyond the resources we provide today and exploring new opportunities to serve more neighbors, serve them better and strengthen our impact across North Fulton. We’re grateful for a Board of Directors whose leadership, dedication and belief in our mission help us keep moving forward. There’s a lot to be excited about, and we’re just getting started! #35DaysOfGiving #NFCChelp #TogetherWeCan #NorthFulton #Nonprofit

Sometimes, the smallest moments say the most about who we are. 💙💚 Recently, Jill and Diana from our Client Intake team took a moment to celebrate one of our senior neighbors on her birthday. Complete with a balloon, a gift and, of course, a few hugs! At NFCC, we talk a lot about our values: Inclusion, Compassion, Dignity and Collaboration. But they’re more than words. They’re reflected in how we welcome our neighbors, how we care for one another and how we make people feel seen, valued and supported. For our client-facing team, helping neighbors goes beyond connecting them with resources. It’s about building relationships and creating a place where everyone feels they belong. Sometimes, that looks like celebrating a birthday. 🎈 Happy Birthday to our neighbor, and thank you to Jill and Diana for reminding us what our values look like in action!

During a recent staff meeting, NFCC President Dr. Amy Gates Stroud shared a little about the Beyond NFCC Scholar Program. Here’s a glimpse into the conversation! #nfcchelp #togetherwecan #nonprofit #education

We’re going LIVE on Instagram! Join us on Tuesday, October 27 at 3 p.m. for a new opportunity to get to know NFCC! Our very own SaraSpring and Blaine will be taking you behind the scenes, giving you a look around NFCC and answering YOUR questions about who we are, what we do and how we’re making a difference in our community. We’ll also have some special guests joining us, including NFCC President Dr. Amy Gates Stroud! And we’re kicking off 35 Days of Giving, our annual campaign where we’ll take you on a journey through NFCC and beyond, sharing what we’ve been up to this year, taking a closer look at our programs and showing you how your generosity makes a difference in our community. Have a question you’ve always wanted to ask us? Drop it in the comments, and we might answer it LIVE! Mark your calendars and join us on Instagram! October 27 | 3 p.m. | @nfcchelp #35DaysOfGiving #NFCCHelp #togetherwecan

You’ve seen the reveal. Now, let’s talk about what comes next! 💙💚 NFCC President Dr. Amy Gates Stroud joins Blaine for a special conversation about Beyond NFCC Scholar, our newest initiative to help NFCC GED graduates pursue further education or career training. Hear from Amy about why we’re building this program, what it means for our graduates and how our community can help make it possible. And there’s even more exciting news! Thanks to generous donors, every gift to Beyond NFCC Scholar is being matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000! That means your support can go twice as far in helping our graduates build what’s next. Visit nfcchelp.org/scholar to learn more and support this exciting new initiative! #nfcchelp #BeyondNFCC #BuildingWhatsNext #FinancialStability #togetherwecan

WE'RE BEYOND EXCITED! 👀 We've got something NEW to share, and you're going to have to work a little for this reveal! Hold down the three dots (•••) and slide through to see what we've been building! 👀 Introducing a new way to invest in what's next for our NFCC graduates. 💙💚 And this is just the beginning! On Friday, October 9, NFCC President Dr. Amy Gates Stroud has a special video message to share about what's next.

1,000 bags of food. 1,000 ways to show up for our community. 💙💚 This past Saturday at Roswell Day of Hope, we provided 1,000 bags of non-perishable food to help ensure our neighbors had food to take home. 800 bags went directly to Roswell Day of Hope participants, while another 200 continued into the community through local churches and shelters: • 50 to @worldharvestatl • 50 to @zionroswell • 50 to @phcroswell • 50 to @gatewayctr and @welcomehouseatl shelters We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this possible and to our community partners who helped extend the reach of these bags beyond the event. 1,000 bags. One community showing up for one another. @hoperoswell

Some partnerships go beyond a single moment of support. Year after year, @locumtenens_com continues to show up for NFCC and our community. Recently, their team sat down with us to hear what we’ve been up to, learn more about the needs we’re seeing today and talk about where NFCC is going next. There is something incredibly meaningful about a partner who doesn’t just ask, “How can we help?” once, but continues to come back, listen and ask again. We are deeply grateful for LocumTenens.com and their continued commitment to helping NFCC show up for our neighbors today while building toward what comes next. Thank you for continuing to believe in our work and, more importantly, in this community. 💙💚

Last week, we gathered with about 40 NFCC donors for a special appreciation lunch. 💙💚 We shared a meal as Amy reflected on what we’ve been working on, where NFCC is headed and gave a sneak peek at some exciting initiatives coming in the year ahead. Most importantly, it was a chance to say thank you to some of the people who make this work possible; and to look beyond today at what we can accomplish together. To our donors, thank you for believing in NFCC and the community we serve. Stay tuned; there’s more to come!

Recently, we continued our Workforce Development series with another Explore Careers session, this time with our friends at Right at Home North Atlanta. Explore Careers gives job seekers the chance to go beyond a job posting and have real conversations with employers. Participants learn about different career paths, what the work is really like, the skills needed to succeed, and can ask the questions that matter most. A big thank you to @rahatlanta for sharing their team, their expertise, and the meaningful work they do supporting seniors and adults with disabilities in our community. Workforce development is about creating opportunities that lead to lasting financial stability, and we're excited to keep those opportunities growing. Join us for our next Workforce Development course, Why Networking Matters (More Than You Think!), on August 20. Visit nfcchelp.org to learn more and register.

One community. Countless ways to find support. No matter where life finds you, there are local organizations ready to help. Together, we hope this video introduces you to a resource you didn’t know existed, a mission you’ll want to support, or an organization that could make a difference in your life or the life of someone you love. Because when our community is connected, everyone is stronger. Save this resource. Share it with someone who may need it. 💙💚 @nfcchelp @thedrakehouse @cdakids @ssnorthfulton @iamstellalove @habitatncg @homestretchinc @theplacega

188 → 197. In about 20 minutes. At 3:36 p.m. Thursday, Blaine snapped the first photo. The NFCC Food Pantry queue had reached household #188. About 20 minutes later, Amy snapped the second. #197. And we weren’t done for the day. Thursday is one of our extended-hours days, so our team continued serving neighbors into the evening. The NFCC Food Pantry serves an average of 210 households each day. We probably hit more than 210 this day. This is what that number looks like in real time. Every number represents a neighbor receiving groceries and everyday essentials, helping make a little more room in the budget for rent, utilities, medication and everything else life requires. Need food assistance? We’re here. Want to help keep our shelves stocked? We need you, too. 💙💚 Learn more at nfcchelp.org

“One of my favorite local nonprofit organizations.” — Andy Stanley 💙💚 During North Point Community Church’s October 11 service, Andy Stanley shared a special moment from this year’s Be Rich campaign, highlighting NFCC and the impact of our ongoing partnership.

Thank you to @andy_stanley, @northpointcommunitychurch and everyone who gives through Be Rich for continuing to invest in our neighbors and their financial stability. #BeRich #NFCCHelp #NorthPointCommunityChurch

August was another incredible month of community, connection and looking ahead. 💙💚 We gathered with donors and faith partners, celebrated the launch of @roswellatlas with our friends at @roswell_inc , and helped job seekers build their networks and strengthen their skills through Workforce Development classes. We also made improvements here at NFCC, including a new walkway connecting our buildings, and celebrated our friend Michelle as she retired after seven years of service to our community. We’re so grateful for everything she brought to NFCC and wish her all the best in this next chapter! And while plenty happened this month, even more has been happening behind the scenes. As our community grows and changes, so do we. We’re continuing to listen, evolve and invest in what comes next; thinking beyond today and toward how we can serve our neighbors even better tomorrow. We can’t wait to share more soon. For now, here’s a look back at August and the people, partners and moments that made it special. Thank you for being part of the NFCC community.
