Forsyth County Accountability Courts

Today is the fifth annual National Fentanyl Awareness Day. We’re raising public awareness about an urgent problem: Americans are dying at alarming rates due to illicitly manufactured fentanyl. Join us to learn the facts about fentanyl and take action to save a life in your community.

Help us provide aid to displaced families affected by the South Georgia fires through our disaster relief drive! Now thru May 10, we’re collecting non-perishable items at all Forsyth County Fire Stations and the Public Safety Complex (3520 Settingdown Road). Once we collect it all, local organizations we’ve partnered with will deliver the items to points of contact in South Georgia for distribution.

Let’s band together for our neighbors in the south!

Acceptable items include:
- Shelf-stable, non-perishable food items
- Toiletries
- House items
- Baby items
- Pet items
- Socks, underwear, blankets
- Smoke related relief (N95/KN95 masks, Saline nasal spray, etc)

Run for a cause this Memorial Day in our Heroes Helping Heroes 5K and Fun Run! ❤️

This year, we are running for Gavin! Gavin is the son of a dedicated lieutenant, and he is in urgent need of a lung transplant. His family faces a challenging journey, and we need our community to come together and show them what true support looks like.

Every stride, and every donation, helps provide his family with:

❤️Hope for Gavin’s medical journey.
❤️Critical resources for his family.
❤️A testament to community strength.

It doesn’t matter if you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines…your participation makes a difference! Join us on Memorial Day at Lanier Tech Conference Center at 8:00am for the 5K and a Fun Run for the little ones!

Let’s run with purpose, and let’s run for Gavin. ❤️

Thank you to The Connection Forsyth for hosting a Spring Event for our participants and their families!

This Saturday! We’re heading to Local Church Forsyth for their Meal Day and Resource Fair alongside so many of our friends and partners. Put it in your calendar and come on out and see us! We’ll be there a bit earlier than the official lunch begins which means you can come fasted :)

Thanks to our amazing team and especially those who are VOLUNTEERING their time, we will be opening for our neighbors in need at least Monday through Thursday. The weekend is not looking good in terms of temps. While we want to be open, volunteer spots must be filled. For information on how to get involved, visit the WARMING CENTER tab on our website fpforsyth.org.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK!
