I recommend Family Promise of Forsyth (www.familypromiseofforsythcounty.org) The families move every week from church to church, so the kids don't have many outlets whilst in program & really enjoy extra curricular activities!! Tina is Ex Director (tina@fpforsyth.org)

I'm looking for a great local veterans charity that will take a vehicle donation & possibly clothing. Any suggestions?
Ginny K. replied:
If you can't find a legit local veteran charity, may I strongly suggest No Longer Bound. https://nolongerbound.com/donate-a-car/ Wife of a veteran so I am thankful you are thinking of them but there are so many "fake" veteran organizations.
Kate F. replied:
Thanks. I have donated to Abba House before but looking to support veterans specifically this time.
Robin R. replied:
Rebecca Youngblood can Change 4 Georgia use this donation? If not, check with Troy Landrey of the Shadow Warrior Foundation 6784721318 both are legitimate nonprofit organizations helping veterans

Linda Y. replied:
I am not sure of charity work or monthly payments, but I love Dr. James Golden at Golden Dental Center on Bethelview. He does not take insurance and so his costs are incredibly reasonable. He is a sole practitioner, not part of a chain, and so he can keep his costs low.
