Friends and Neighbors Community Association is a non-profit organization

At Friends and Neighbors Community Association, we know how hard you work all year long to make a positive difference in the world. Every day, we talk to people like you about your successes, your goals, and your struggles. We’re inspired and humbled over and over again by your strength and dedication to the association. Those of you working unseen in the background to raise funds and advance important causes deserve a moment in the spotlight, and when better than on a day of... thanks? Because you’re our heroes, and because you probably don’t hear it often enough, we’re taking this Thanksgiving to say thank you for making the community a better place. Today and every other day of the year, we at Friends and Neighbors Community Association are so grateful for you. From all of us at Friends and Neighbors Community Association to all of you Happy Thanksgiving! Randy A. Hughes, President and Founder www.fnccla.com
