Our Mission
Circle of Care Forsyth, also known as Community Care Council Inc., has been dedicated to helping individuals and families in Forsyth for over 30 years. We provide essential assistance with food, utilities, rent, and other needs to support those facing hardships. At the heart of our organization is a dedicated board of volunteers and committed staff who work tirelessly to serve the community.
How We Operate
Thanks to the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners, Circle of Care is able to sustain its vital services and extend a helping hand to those in need. Every contribution—whether a financial donation, volunteered time, or donated goods—plays a crucial role in supporting our mission. To maximize the impact of these resources, we implement cost-saving and sustainability initiatives that not only reduce expenses but also benefit the broader community. We repurpose donated grocery bags for thrift store purchases, minimizing waste and cutting costs. Unsellable items that cannot be used in our thrift store are carefully sorted and redirected to organizations such as Macon Rescue Mission, Haiti relief efforts, and Little Children of the World, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Additionally, we recycle metal and cardboard within Forsyth, further reducing our environmental footprint while reinforcing our commitment to community stewardship. Through these efforts, we make every dollar count, ensuring that donations go directly toward helping those who need it most.
Thrift Shop
Supporting Our Mission
Located at 52 West Adams Street, the Circle of Care Thrift Shop is a cornerstone of our operations. This expansive store is housed in a former warehouse, receiving weekly donations and welcoming hundreds of shoppers seeking great bargains. The revenue generated supports our various ministries, ensuring that we can continue providing aid to those in need.
