Our History

This organization started through one woman's determination to help others in the community of Rocky Mount, NC.  Georgia Lynch could not bear to see families struggling to make ends meet so she searched and developed partnerships with others who had the means and resources to help make a difference.  Mrs. Lynch connected with those in need through collaborations with school systems, social workers, and a host of other organizations.  In 2026, Mrs. Lynch is still on her mission to unite families and communities through love and support. 

Our Sponsors & Donors

Proudly supported over the years by community partners and grant funders.
