Holiday Program
From Thanksgiving through Christmas, there are opportunities to assist families in the North Fulton area who are struggling to keep their families fed, clothed and housed. NFCC’s Holiday Program brings joy to these families and blessings to the giver. It is the largest program offered by North Fulton Community Charities. Over the past five years, an average of 1,354 families, 3,191 children, and 433 senior citizens qualified for the program each year. In addition, hundreds of civic and religious groups, companies, neighborhoods, families, and individuals come together to sponsor families, have Thanksgiving food or toy drives, and volunteer. It is our hope that every child, teen, and senior citizen living in North Fulton experiences the special enchantment of the holidays. Visit our holiday website at www.nfccHOLIDAY.org to learn more or contact Eden Purdy at epurdy@nfcchelp.org or 678.387.4458.
