Wow! What an auction!
Our 8th annual auction was a tremendous success thanks to all the businesses and individuals that donated items. Thank you to all the people that attended the auction. There were some good buys and some "good hearted" buys. The support from this community is fantastic! You can make a diffrence.
Our shelves are getting bare
Food donations seem to come in one door and out the other without even getting a chance to "warm the shelf".The need in our community is so great and continues to grow. FGFRC receives 49 new applications for food every month. We distribute 16,000 pounds of food monthly. This fed 11,564 people in 2011, a 25% increase over the previous year.
Our food supply is dangerously low. At the moment, we have green beans, corn and pancakes. Not easy to make a nutritious meal from that. You can help make sure our children and seniors don't go hungry. We graciously accept any donation no matter how small or how large.
Food Lion supports Fairgrove pantry
The Food Lion Charitable Foundation grant will enable our center to continue offering quality food to hungry families in the Thomasville area. We appreciate Food Lion's generosity and encourage others to support the businesses that give back to their community to improve the well-being of the families living there. See story here.

I am very grateful for the service and programs provided by Fairgrove Family Resource Center. They have provided my family with invaluable information that benefits us in so many ways. I think many families I know would benefit from taking parenting classes.
Circle of Parents
Circle of Parents is a parent-led support group giving parents the chance to share the ups and downs of raising children. You are not alone. Other parents are going through or have been through the same things you are struggling over now. Connecting with other parents and sharing ideas will result in learning new ways to handle problems and situations. Parents reassure each other that their problems are neither unique nor insurmountable. You have the opportunity to provide help to others as well as receive help yourself. Parents share their problem-solving skills and learn new ways to handle stress and avoid impulsive reactions. This shared knowledge can help you avoid situations and pitfalls before they happen. The result is feeling more confident in yourself and your parenting abilities. Your family will be able to relax and enjoy each other more.
Circle of Parents meets every Thursday night at Fair Grove United Methodist Church, 138 Fairgrove Church Rd, Thomasville, NC. (This is about half a mile from Kmart on Cedar Lodge Rd. The church is across from Fair Grove Fire Dept, behind the cemetery.) Dinner is provided at 6pm. Group starts at 6:45 Child care is provided. Dinner, group and child care are FREE. Registration is required. For more information or to register call Julie Stevens at FGFRC 472-7217.
