History: Thirty-seven years ago, a group of people from various faith-based organizations created North Fulton Community Charities to provide food and financial assistance for residents in need. The charity serves residents of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park and Roswell.

Did You Know: During the pandemic, more than 3,000 households have received financial and education support services, food, rent and utility assistance from North Fulton Community Charities. Each year, the nonprofit serves about 10,000 people. Those in need of food or clothing receive points each month to use in the food pantry, which stocks fresh produce from local farmers, and clothes from the thrift shop.

Motto: Together, we can help!

How You Can Help: Individuals and groups can volunteer in the office, thrift shop, food pantry, or education center. The thrift shop, open daily to the public, has great deals on furniture, household items, clothes and more. Financial donations help feed, clothe, and support those who were hit hardest by the pandemic.
