Thank you!
The COVID-19 virus posed new challenges in helping families who experience the impacts of domestic violence celebrate the holidays, but FCC's supporters met the challenge. We hope you enjoy reading about the impact your support and donations had for many families and we wish you a healthy and safe 2021!
FCC Families Celebrate the Holidays With the Help of Our Partners!

Our community partner, Heaven on Earth Now, helped FCC during the holidays. 20 Aftercare clients, those families FCC supports for at least a year after leaving the Emergency Shelter and moving to permanent housing, were surprised by gifts of pajamas, journals, slippers and a bag full of groceries. Molly Cottrill, Executive Director of Heaven on Earth Now, says, "This type of collaboration allows each organization to have a larger impact. Together FCC and Heaven on Earth Now, can help these families change the trajectory of their lives." FCC values these partnerships as they help clients build connections within their communities.

Similar to FCC's commitment to the DASH eating guidelines, that help lower the incidence of hypertension and diabetes, Heaven on Earth Now focuses on healthy options in their bags of groceries and works to educate those that organize food drives regarding healthy foods to donate.
By The Numbers
FCC and the Holidays:
40 individual donors and 16 businesses and community organizations helped families living in the Shelter, the Aftercare clients and families involved in other FCC programs celebrate the holidays.

Thank you for your generous support - We couldn't have done it without you!

Kudos to our Top Supporters:
Several Supporters have donated through our Amazon Wishlist - we are growing our library thanks to this option as well:
FCC wants to you to know that it is possible to get help early in the process to change the course of partner abuse or aggression that is happening at home – and to remind you that children are watching.

Children's Program Highlights

Kim Fleury, Director of FCC's Chidlren's Program, continues to find creative ways to support the families with children who live in the Emergency Shelter. During December they participated in Wintery Crafts and GingerBread House decorating. Thank you to the Dundalk Lions Club for the Gingerbread House kits!
