Swing Into Action with North Fulton Community Charities

  • It gives me great pleasure to announce that the 3rd Annual “Swing into Action with NFCC,” Golf Tournament will take place Monday, July 25, 2011 at The Standard Club.

 

The purpose of this event is to secure much needed funds to support our local families and individuals living in North Fulton who are experiencing unexpected emergencies.

Each year, NFCC sees a growing population of families and individuals living close to homelessness who struggle to maintain proper food and shelter due to low wages, job loss, illness, injuries, domestic violence or divorce.   Most of our clients are the working class poor making less than $25,000.

In 2010, NFCC:

  • Assisted over 5,000 local families
  • Distributed $1.1 million in financial assistance.

Currently, NFCC:

  • Sees an average of 130 families per day
  • Provides 9 ½ tons of food per week. 

 

You cannot imagine the number of people who line up in the wee hours of the morning (5:00 a.m.) requesting our services.  As one single mother said in a heartfelt letter…“Thank you and all the Special Friends we are blessed to have in our lives at NFCC!!! God knows you have fed us, clothed us, kept us warm, and provided when I couldn’t.”   Debra

 

Last year, a week before the golf tournament, we were turning people away – unable to provide any financial assistance due to a lack of funds.  But, after the tournament, we were once again able to help those families in dire need of assistance.  With your support as a golf tournament sponsor, NFCC can continue to meet the needs of our neighbors.
