Atlanta REALTORS® Sponsor North Fulton Community Charities Holiday Assistance Program
October 23, 2020
The Atlanta REALTORS® Association is working with the NFCC this holiday season to help bring assistance to families in need across the Metro Atlanta area. With Thanksgiving around the corner, the ARA is launching a frozen turkey & donation drive to help families prepare their own Thanksgiving meals at home. The holiday assistance program is extremely important to the local families the NFCC serves because it allows them to enjoy the holiday season with their families without the financial burden the holidays often bring!
Thanksgiving Food & Turkey Drive
Last year, the NFCC Thanksgiving program served 445 families. This annual program provides families with a frozen turkey, grocery store gift card and bags of non-perishable food to prepare their own Thanksgiving meal at home.
Ways to get involved:
- Donate non-perishable Thanksgiving food items. Click here to view the Thanksgiving food shopping list.

Warm Coat Day
Last year, NFCC distributed 1,892 items including coats, jackets, hats, scarves and gloves, for adults and children. Each year, NFCC collects new and gently worn coats and jackets as well as accessories such as hats, scarves and gloves, for adults and children, throughout the month of October culminating with a distribution that will be held the first week of November 2020.
