First Born Community Development Center Charity Profile

The First Born Community Development Center (FBCDC) was established on a vision based on a Hebrews 12:23 scripture derived from the King James version of the bible. The main visionary responsible for the founding of the center on January 1, 1992 was Bishop J. L. Smith. The Center has been a member agency of the Food Bank of North Carolina since June 16, 1992. All Federal In-kind food contributions come from The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)/USDA. In 1993-1994, the FBCDC built a 2,600 square foot building to house the food operation. The center has freezers for perishable goods and storage space for non-perishable items. The foundation of the building was donated by Burroughs Wellcome, Inc. which is now DSM Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

FBCDC is open every second and fourth Saturday from 10am to 12pm. During this time, families and individuals fill out applications and pick up food. Food boxes are delivered to the homebound elderly and handicapped.
