The NFCC Thrift Shop was formerly known as The Community Clothes Closet (CCC).  It opened in 1971 in partnership with six North Fulton churches. In 1991 CCC became part of the NFCC family.  The Thrift Shop operates with a small staff and hundreds of volunteers, some of whom have volunteered for decades, according to NFCC's Vonda Marlborough. 

NFCC Executive Director Barbara Duffy said, “The goal of this renovation is to increase revenue and brand awareness. The store will be more spacious, more organized and the check out process more efficient.  The addition of large photos of NFCC programs and participants displayed along the upper walls combined with quotes from program participants will provide all who enter our Thrift Shop, including shoppers, donors, supporters and the families we support, insight into NFCC’s mission of building self-sufficiency and preventing homelessness and hunger in our community by providing emergency assistance and enrichment programs.”

Hours are Monday through Saturday 10am to 8pm and Sunday 1pm to 6pm.  

The Thrift Shop re-opened Saturday, Feb. 23, and plans an official opening on Friday, March 1.
