Brunswick Family Assistance Agency, Inc.
Brunswick
Family Assistance Agency has been serving low-income families in
Brunswick County, North Carolina since 1981. We have expanded over the
years to address unmet needs in our community. We act as a broker for
services provided by Interchurch groups in our county, we provide help
with rent or mortgage payments, utilities, and other unmet needs. We
coordinate with the local welfare department and health departments and
work with other area non-profits to provide the best services to our
clients. We distribute USDA surplus commodities, we have a food pantry
and a children s pantry (clothing, school supplies, baby needs, some
children s furniture). We operate a Christmas basket program with food
baskets for Christmas dinner and gifts for children and seniors. We have
a Hispanic Outreach program funded by Smart Start and the Partnership
for Children to help Hispanic families find services in our community,
and to help the community serve Hispanic families more effectively. We
are a United Way agency and depend on individual and corporate
contributions as well as other grant funds. We have helped out in
disasters by distributing disaster food and helping with disaster
recovery by distributing funds for emergency needs of families impacted
by area disasters. Six hurricanes have impacted our county in the
three-year period from 1995 to 1999. BFAA is the only non-governmental
county wide human services agency in Brunswick County, a rural area with
little industry and high poverty. While we enjoy beautiful beaches and
over 40 golf courses, much of our county is swampland, with a population
very isolated. The area is growing very quickly, and services have
difficulty keeping up with the increasing needs. Our agency has very few
employees and depends on 50 to 100 volunteers to help provide necessary
services. .. (continue to details page for more info and costs)
