Service

In FPCNC’s ongoing mission to Leave a Legacy, the church also engages annually with a number of community organizations to provide nutritional, physical and mental health and job training and support services. 
 
Our service partners include:
Americares
The AmeriCares Free Clinic program supports their Connecticut clinic partners by providing access to medicine, medical support and other supplies to reduce organization and patient costs and improve the delivery of quality care.
 
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRISIS CENTER

The Domestic Violence Crisis Center takes a victim-centered, trauma informed approach to serving our clients. DVCC offers ongoing support to help clients find comprehensive solutions to the complex problems caused by domestic violence.” It provides 24-hour crisis intervention, but often, their service just begins there.
