Families First, Inc. would like to thank the Columbus County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation for their support. Thanks to a generous grant of $15,000 we will be able to keep our shelter operational while we work on rebuilding our new facility. The grant, earmarked for General Operating Support, will provide a lifeline to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault as we undergo the process of rebuilding our shelter. The grant will not only help maintain essential services but also provide a beacon of hope and encouragement to survivors who rely on Families First, Inc.'s support.

In 1995 there was a need in our community that wasn’t being met. Through the hard work and dedication of our staff, volunteers, and our communities, Families First, Inc. has grown and we have helped thousands of survivors. We are honored to have serve Bladen and Columbus Counties for 25 amazing years and with your help may we serve for many more to come. Thank you all for your support!

Thank you so much to North Carolina Community Foundation and the Louise Oriole Burevitch Endowment for awarding Families First, Inc. with two grants, one totaling $30,000.00 and another for $1000.00! It is because of organizations like you that we can serve survivors or domestic violence and sexual assault! Again, thank you!
