ABOUT US

WHAT WE DO

Forsyth Friends, Inc. is a volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization started in 2017 in Forsyth County, Georgia—our Mission Statement:  To organize volunteers and resources to benefit our communities.

 

We mobilize volunteers and resources to address the needs of people affected by adversity: 

  • Working with local groups to provide needed supplies to those affected by natural and man-made disasters

  • Raising funds for charitable organizations to assist in their spirited missions.

​

 Joining forces with local volunteers, corporate partners and beloved sponsors allows us to identify community needs upon which we can effectively focus and successfully address in a timely manner.

​
