As an agency, we will be embarking on many new fundraising projects.. So keep an eye out for more fundraising and volunteer opportunities.
We have a new Volunteer Coordinator. Her name is K’leigh Mayer. She will be managing the volunteer activities of the agency. As an agency, we depend on volunteers for a wide variety of reasons, but mainly because we can’t do it alone. We need our volunteers to help us go that extra mile, so we can reach those in need. If you would like to be a part of our volunteer community please contact her at kmayer@fgcservices.com. K’leigh is also working on our internet presence. She is working hard on social media platforms to get our services and opportunities out into the community. She is working closely with Aaron Ballengee, Personal Touch Web Designs to keep the website updated so our loyal donors and supporters can be up to date on what our agency is doing.
New programs are being added to Consumer Credit Counseling Services department. They are starting the Debt Management (Consolidation) Program. We are excited to be able to provide this valuable service to debt ridden families in our community.
We also want to take this time to thank our clients, donors, and community for allowing us to keep our doors open for sixty years. We are very grateful for the support you all have given us, so we can give back to the community. We want to applaud those giving hearts because we wouldn’t be here without you. We look forward to the future to see what more we can within our agency to better our community.
