History

HISTORY  

Fawn Grove Compassion Center, Inc. (FGCC) was organized in 2011 as a 509(a)(1) faith-based, not-for-profit charitable and humanitarian organization. It is located at 5300 Fawn Grove Road, Pylesville, Maryland.

In 1992, the Center began its work with volunteers responding to the victims of the Mozambique floods. The people shipped a 40-foot container of high quality used clothing at that time. Since then, more than 400 shipments have been delivered to over 22 world areas and within the United States.  In 2001, due to the high volume of humanitarian aid requested, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) brought the warehouse operation under the Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) umbrella and called it the “Fawn Grove Warehouse.”

In 2011, FGCC was incorporated to manage and enhance the operations of gifts-in-kind procurement and providing those items as humanitarian aid to organizations that serve economically disadvantaged peoples globally.  As of January 1, 2012, FGCC resumed management of the warehouse operations.

FGCC continues to partner with NCM handling Crisis Care Kits and School Pal-Paks.  FGCC also continues to provide high quality humanitarian aid to NCM and other non-profit organizations to assist in response to those in need around the world.
