In the News

First In Families of NC was recently awarded a $47,525 Community Bridging grant by The Durham Center and greatly appreciates their support. FIF will use these funds: to build social networks for and with individuals leaving the state institutions and embarking on life in the community for the first time; to do outreach to families whose sons or daughters with disabilities are aging and who are not yet connected to community services of any kind, and in various other ways to strengthen the social connectedness of individuals experiencing disability.
