Hit the Links to Help North Fulton Families in Need

North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) is geared up and ready to “swing” into the 5th Annual NFCC’s Golf  Tournament. This year’s event takes place on Monday at Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton.

Proceeds from this tournament help support the programs and services offered to North Fulton families in need.

During the summer months, the need for NFCC assistance increases. Case workers continue to see an average of 112 families a day, who are in need of food, clothing, and emergency assistance.  In 2012, NFCC saw 15,000 low-income individuals within the North Fulton communities of Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Mountain Park.   Many of those served by NFCC are minimum wage earners, and NFCC provides support and assistance to the growing number of area residents who are unemployed, underemployed, or struggling to provide essential needs, to their families. For many, NFCC remains the “lifeline” to receive the support needed to move towards self-sufficiency.

“The success of the tournament is critical in assisting NFCC families. By offering good food, and a great course, participants spend a day having fun and playing golf for a great cause.  As NFCC celebrate 30 years of service, we continue to see the importance of providing food, emergency assistance, clothing, and adult basic education life skill-classes. In support of our motto, “Together we can help,” the golf tournament provides a way for our community to help others,” said Vonda Malbrough, NFCC Development director.
