About Us
History
Friends of the Community is a nonprofit organization founded by Tiffany McElhannon, Jason McElhannon, and Shelly Woltmon with the mission of helping people in need and fostering a sense of unity through love, kindness, and good food. The organization was established in the wake of Hurricane Helene, a storm that left many in the community facing challenges such as displacement, loss of resources, and emotional hardship.
