Family Guidance Center Update

We hope you and everyone in the community are safe and healthy. We wanted to share that our agency is still operating and serving clients. We are still offering all services to the community. However, we are working remotely as much as possible. Our office doors may be closed to the public, but we are still here! We have the following crisis lines that are operating 24/7:

Domestic Violence: 828-228-1787
Sexual Assault: 828-302-6952
Finance & Housing: 828-338-8193

Our Shelter is operating, and still serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. We are offering virtual support groups and therapy. Our court advocate is available at the courthouse in person on Tuesdays and virtually the rest of the week. Financial counseling and credit repair is still operating and serving new and returning clients.

Our Thrift Store is currently closed but accepting donations Monday’s & Wednesday 9am-12pm. Donations that are dropped of here will be dispersed to our shelter location as well. We are offering online shopping through their Facebook @thepurpleribbonthriftstore. We are in need of volunteers to help prepare for reopening. Safety measures are in place. Text fgcvolunteer to 41444 to volunteer today!

As of now, this will be set in place until June 1st. We hope to be able to serve you all face to face soon. We truly miss everyone and cant wait to see everyone. This decision was not made lightly, we want to abide by the governor’s orders and keep staff, clients’ community members safe. Please if you are seeking our services call a crisis line or 828-322-1400.
