The CFFC wants to raise awareness and help foster the success of non-profit organizations that are making a difference in Fayette County. Visit our new website page called “Building a Stronger Fayette” to learn about those that have received grants from the CFFC to support their work. We hope to familiarize residents with local non-profits and the programs/projects that are helping impact our communities in a positive way.
Previews:
180 Degree About Face: “The overall goal of the re-entry program is to help reduce the rate of recidivism among female offenders by offering temporary housing and support to women who have been incarcerated, drug addicted or looking to turn their lives away from a negative situation.”
Dress for Success: “Women come to the Fayette branch of Dress for Success for all kinds of clothing for interviews, employment and training programs… Many times, women are forced to delay the start of a job because they don’t have the funds to purchase proper attire or safety shoes.”
