What a celebration! Thank you to our incredible sponsors, guests, volunteers, donors, and everyone who made our 40th anniversary A Night of Southern Elegance so special. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and love for this mission made our birthday one to remember!
Forty years ago, a few people saw a need and chose to care. Today, that caring has grown into an organization that changes lives every single day. And the story is still being written.
Watch our 40th anniversary video and take a look at the remarkable journey made possible by people like you.
As we look toward the next 40 years, we invite you to continue the caring with a gift to Fayette Cares. Your donation helps ensure that someone facing homelessness, domestic violence, or crisis will find hope, help, and a way forward.
What we build together lasts beyond us. Let’s keep building!
Our history is one of compassion, determination, and a community that chose to care. Watch this video about the powerful story of Fayette Cares.
