UPCOMING EVENT! The Fayetteville Family Life Center will be holding our spring fundraiser, "An Afternoon of Inspirational Music" on Sunday April 22nd at Synder Memorial Baptist Church. The event will begin at 3:00pm and is free to the public. This year the Cumberland Youth Orchestra, the FSU Orchestra and "The Testifiers from St. Ann School will be performing.
We get money primarily in two ways. One is through the fees that we collect. These go to CareNet of North Carolina (a division of the Pastoral Care Department of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center). These funds pay the salaries of our counselors and provide the many clinical services necessary to insure that quality counseling is provided. Much of our counseling services are supplemented (provided at substantially reduced costs to clients who could not otherwise afford counseling). Insurance remimbursements do not generate enough funds to cover the costs of operating the Center.
The second way that we get money is through contributions. These are funds given to us by churches and synagogues, the United Way, the business community, civic organizations, grant opportunities and concerned individuals. The Board of Directors raises money through fund raising events such as our Fall Solicitation Fund Raising Campaign each winter and the spring Afternoon of Inspirational Music. These contributions pay for the operation of the physical plant, the salaries of our clerical staff, and the many practical requirements for providing counseling services. We have a special fund raiser, the Silent Samaritan, to provide funding to support women and children in our community that cannot afford our clinical services. Because we raise these funds we can afford to provide the many free counseling hours to clients. What Your Investment Can Do!
