Donations

FSDC is a not-for-profit organization.  We depend on strong annual support from the United Way, businesses, churches, foundations, governmental units as well as individuals and families.  Donations ensure our ability to provide services to those who otherwise would not have access to quality care.  If you would like to help make our services readily available to all, please consider a contribution.  All donations are tax deductible.  Financial gifts can be sent directly to the agency at PO Box 607, Lexington, NC  27293.  If you would like to consider gifts of stocks or securities, or are considering including FSDC in your estate planning, please contact our executive director, Dr. Debbie Rice at 336-249-0237.
