North Fulton Community Charities Announces Public Phase of Capital Campaign North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) recently announced its Growing with Purpose capital campaign to fund much-needed renovations to existing facilities that house its food pantry and the NFCC Thrift Shop, as well as the construction of a new two-story 18,000 square foot Service & Education Center located across the road from its current facility. These capital improvements will increase NFCC’s capacity to deliver specialized support, programs, and services to help families meet their basic needs, achieve self-sufficiency, and strengthen the North Fulton community. To date, NFCC has raised more than $5.8 million (95%) of its $6.2 million capital campaign goal.NFCC took advantage of facility closures during the pandemic to renovate the food pantry and thrift shop, both of which have reopened to clients. Construction of the Service & Education Center is expected to be completed in early 2021. Named in honor of NFCC’s first executive director who retired in 2019 after nearly 30 years of service, the Barbara Duffy Center will serve as the point-of-entry for individuals and families, in addition to providing the space needed to expand and improve integration of emergency assistance/case management with workforce development and education programs.“As the North Fulton community continues to grow, so must NFCC to sufficiently meet current and future needs,” said NFCC Executive Director Holly M. York. “We planned for and began our expansion prior to the pandemic in order to meet current needs and accommodate long-term growth. However, the pandemic has further accelerated the need for emergency assistance and demand for our workforce development and education programs, as families seek to get back on their feet and find and return to work as quickly as possible.” For more information about NFCC’s Growing with Purpose capital campaign and plans for growth, please visit NFCCHelp.org/growing-with-purpose.
