A new and exciting partnership thank you FFCU

We are so excited to partner with such a wonderful organization as the Open Arms Shelter!
The Open Arms Shelter serves our community in an incredible way by helping individuals and families get back to self dependency. We are honored to be a part of helping them serve our community in a way that truly matters! 💜

In July, we celebrate national independence. We also celebrated a family's independence as a mother, and her daughter moved from the shelter into their own housing. Here is how she felt when she left. Way to go, Community !!!

Thank you to 1st United Bank for supporting Open Arms Shelter! 💙

We are so grateful to be selected as this month’s nonprofit recipient through their community book donation program. Every book shared, every donation given, and every act of kindness helps create hope for the individuals and families we serve.

Community support like this reminds us that when people come together, even small gestures can make a meaningful impact.

Thank you, 1st United Bank, for choosing to stand with Open Arms Shelter and help us continue our mission.

🏡 A safe place to stay.
🤝 Staff who care.
📋 A plan, support, and someone walking alongside her.

This week, a young woman connected through Open Arms Shelter was able to recover her resources and move into a place of her own.

That is what community support makes possible.

To every person, church, business, and neighbor who gives, prays, volunteers, shares, or supports this mission each month — **you are part of this story.**

Fannin County, YOU DID IT. 💙
