Looking back with Barbara

👋 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

That’s a wrap on Looking Back with Barbara! In our fifth and final episode, we take one last look back with Barbara Duffy. Thank you for joining us throughout this series and celebrating NFCC’s history with Barbara! And stay tuned! We’ll be catching you up on everything we’ve been up to over the past year. There’s plenty to share!

Some familiar faces at NFCC Thrift! Our first executive director, Barbara Duffy, stopped by for some shopping and caught up with our current president, Dr. Amy Gates Stroud. More than 40 years of NFCC history represented in one photo! And speaking of history, we’d love to know: How long have you been part of the NFCC story? 💙💚

Part 4 of our Looking Back with Barbara series! 💙💚 In this episode, Barbara reflects on how the ideas of volunteers, faith partners and community members helped shape NFCC into what it is today. From our annual CoatsGiving to introducing client choice in our Food Pantry, so many of NFCC’s advancements started with someone simply asking, “What if?” A reminder of what we can accomplish when a community comes together! #nfcchelp #togetherwecan #nonprofit #northfulton

Part 3 of our look back with Barbara! 💙💚 In this special episode, Barbara details how Hurricane Katrina affected NFCC and how the newly acquired space, which is still in use today for the Pantry and @nfccthrift, immediately was filled full of donations. Take a look back with Barbara. #nfcchelp #togetherwecan #nonprofit #northfulton

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. From helping neighbors stay in their homes to keeping our Food Pantry stocked, North Point’s generosity continues to make a meaningful difference in our community. 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

We were honored to partner with the @northfultonchamber to host an evening of connection, service and conversation with young professionals from across our community. Instead of a registration fee, each participant brought a toy for Toyland and shared why their choice represented a piece of their own childhood. Together, they also assembled Birthday Bags for families visiting our Food Pantry and heard from a panel of NFCC board members, including Barbara Blevens, Scott Jordan, and Staci Parker, about balancing careers while giving back to our community. Thank you to the Greater North Fulton Chamber and everyone who joined us for your time, generosity and commitment to North Fulton. We’re grateful to see the future of our community in such good hands! 💙 💚
