NFCC help

👋 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

Asking for help shouldn’t come with shame. 💙💚 An unexpected job loss, reduced hours or a family emergency can change someone’s financial situation overnight. And sometimes, a little support is all it takes to keep a family in their home. In Part 1 of Catching Up with Amy, our president, Dr. Amy Gates Stroud, takes a closer look at financial assistance and why providing support with dignity matters just as much as the assistance itself. This week, we’re continuing the conversation! We’ll introduce you to the people behind the program and share how we’re working to make asking for help a welcoming experience. 🧡 #35DaysOfGiving #NFCChelp #TogetherWeCan #northfulton

A special message from our staff to kick off your week! 💙💚 THANK YOU for all you do to support our neighbors! 🧡 #35DaysOfGiving #NFCChelp #TogetherWeCan #northfulton #nonprofit

More than a thrift store. More than a great deal! At NFCC Thrift, every donation and purchase you make helps make a difference in our community!

Swipe to see the impact YOU help make possible! Thank you for shopping, donating and showing up for our neighbors! 💙💚🧡 #35DaysOfGiving #NFCCThrift #NFCChelp #TogetherWeCan

Every journey starts somewhere.💙💚 For our president, Dr. Amy Gates Stroud, her journey with NFCC began long before she took on the role. With an uncle who helped found NFCC, Amy grew up knowing the organization and the impact it has on our community. Today, she’s carrying that connection forward in a whole new way. 🧡 As part of our 35 Days of Giving, we’ll be Catching Up with Amy each week! But before we get started, we wanted to share a little about her personal connection to NFCC that you may not know. Take a look at how Amy’s journey with NFCC began! #nfcchelp #togetherwecan #35daysofgiving #northfulton #nonprofit

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

“Without NFCC, I would be homeless.” After losing her job, one of our North Fulton neighbors found herself facing eviction despite doing everything she could to make ends meet. She turned to NFCC for financial assistance and discovered additional support through our Food Pantry and clothing assistance programs. For the first time, she’s sharing her journey in her own words. As we kick off 35 Days of Giving, we’re sharing the stories behind our mission and the neighbors who remind us why this work matters. Every step forward starts somewhere. 💙💚🧡 #35daysofgiving #nfcchelp #togetherwecan #northfulton #nonprofit

The next step starts with knowing what's possible! Last week, we welcomed 14 community members to an information session with Gwinnett Technical College to explore educational opportunities, career pathways and financial aid. For our GED students and graduates, opportunities like these can help turn the question of "What's next?" into a plan for moving forward. Thank you to Alisa Miller and Gwinnett Tech for helping us connect our neighbors with new opportunities! #NFCCHelp #NorthFulton #AdultEducation #GwinnettTech

Sometimes, the impact of a community coming together is best told by the people who experience it. Recently, we received this handwritten note from a neighbor whose family received financial assistance during a difficult time. Swipe to read their message. To everyone who supports NFCC, thank you for believing in our neighbors and helping make moments like these possible. Your generosity helps families navigate difficult circumstances and take their next steps forward. #NFCCHelp #TogetherWeCan #NorthFulton #CommunitySupport

“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

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
