NFCC Overflows Thanks to North Point Community Church Donations
Members of Alpharetta-based church make major contribution to North Fulton Community Charities in Roswell.
Though its food pantry stock has run low in recent weeks, got a major boost from local megachurch North Point Community Church in Alpharetta this week, according to CBS Atlanta.
The requirements of the non-profit have been high in recent years due to a sluggish economy creating more need and less provision. In addition to the fact that the holiday season always causes a higher demand. So, the fact that NFCC is having difficulty finding room to store all the donations that came in recently from is astounding.
According to the CBS Atlanta story, just over a month since Pastor Andy Stanley put out a call to members challenging them to give money, donations and volunteer time, NFCC has recieved more donations that it can handle at one time.Â
