Safe Communities



FCOC is funded by a grant from United Way of the Greenbrier Valley and donations from individual Sisters of St. Joseph, Red Sulphur Presbyterian Church, Lindside Christian Church, yard sales, Greenville Ruritan dinners and individual community members.  We have received $80,000.00 for the FCOC fund from multiple sources since 1999.  No state or federal funds are used for this fund.  From January 1, 2007 to September 1, 2007, there were 77 families helped with FCOC funds.  The oversight committee for the FCOC fund includes staff from DHHR, Head Start, FRN, Sister's of St. Joseph, a Pastor and two community members.  

Christmas Giving partners include The Greenbrier Hotel, Calvary Baptist Church, TLC Ministeries, Ministerial Outreach, Union and Greenville Presbyterian Church and individual community members. The SHARE Food Co-op is sponsored by the Greenville Ruritan Club once a month and is coordinated by community volunteers.  

The Community Resource Directory web-site partners are the United Way of the Greenbrier Valley and Monroe, Greenbrier and Pocahontas County Family Resource Networks.  

Free Clothing/coat distributions partners are The Old Greenville School and local volunteers.  

VITA/AARP tax aide partners are the Monroe Public Library in Union and volunteers.  200 tax returns were filed 2006 with earned income credit totaling $53,454.00.

We estimate an in-kind value of $106,000.00 for fiscal year 2005-2006 of help families received by our coordination efforts (free clothing/coat distributions, Christmas Giving, SHARE, VITA Income Tax aide, Semi-truckload).
