Get Out
Make New Friends
Have Fun!

If you’re looking for an opportunity to get out of the house, make new friends, and participate in exciting activities, then look no further. New Friends of Carolina (NFC) is what you’ve been looking for. Founded in 1989 as a not-for-profit social club for women, NFC welcomes both new comers to the Carolinas as well as those who have lived here for years.

There’s no need for concern about pressure. You’ll find the members of our club to be both friendly and welcoming. They simply want you to join in the activities and have some fun. There’s something for everyone. For a complete list of activities, see INTEREST GROUPS below.

President's Message

The President's Message

Good Day Friends,

In the coming weeks, New Friends will be collecting donations through our interest group events for our Community Volunteers' project Go Jen Go's Operation Joy. In order for you to better understand who we are supporting with this effort, please read the profiles below of each of the three NFC supported families that will be receiving Christmas gifts from us.

Mom #1 is a breast cancer survivor. She is currently pregnant with her second daughter. During her pregnancy, her breast cancer returned. Her recent surgery removed the tumor, and she had clean margins. Currently cancer-free, she will have treatment to complete after she delivers in October.

Mom #2 is a mother of two young boys. Due to Stage III breast cancer, she is unable to work due to treatments. Her mother moved in to help. She is going through chemotherapy, surgery and additional adjuvant therapy based on her responses to treatment.

Mom #3 is a mother of three young children. She is unable to work due to treatments and doctor's appointments. She receives food stamps. Friends and family are helping as best they can with groceries and childcare. She is searching to find a job that she can work remotely.

Our goal is to provide 36 gifts for the three women with cancer diagnoses, 6 children, 1 husband, 1 grandmother, and one baby being born this month. In addition, each child is to get a stocking and each mom is to get a care bag of comfort items from our club. Please count your blessings and give generously. Our November luncheon speakers will be from Go Jen Go. Let's have a strong attendance to support this worthy organization.
