The Blue Ridge Better Living Center
Community Services
“Serving the Community in Christ’s Name”
...
This community services center located in Fannin County, GA, is open to every person in need of assistance in the form of food, clothing, bedding, personal care items, and friendship. There is a simple form to fill out prior to receiving benefits and is repeated on a monthly basis. Your privacy is 100% secure and will not be shared with any other individual or entity of any form. It is strictly for our records.
A Weekly Meal
Every Tuesday from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm there is a hot, meatless meal that is shared in the Better Living Center. It is a time to sit, eat, and socialize with others, including the staff, partaking in the meal. We welcome you to come and join us in this time of fellowship and sharing.
Clothing, Bedding, Personal Care Items, and Food
We are fortunate to have a consistent donation of clothing for children, women, and men. We allow 15 items per person per month.
We also receive blankets, sheets, pillow cases, and towels from time to time. Bedding is limited to one bed per year.
It is common for us to have shampoo, condition, soap, and other personal health care items for those in need. Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
