InCommunity (www.incommunityga.org), which provides support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, was recently recognized by the Cobb County Friendship Club, a long-standing committee of Cobb County employees dedicated to giving back to local organizations.
At an event held on December 4th at the Sewell Library & Cultural Center, InCommunity was awarded a $1,000 grant for 2024. This is the first year InCommunity has received a grant from the Friendship Club, which has contributed over $3 million to community organizations since its founding in 1972.
This support comes directly from the generosity of 806 Cobb County employees who contributed to the fund this year through workplace giving, without any reliance on taxpayer funds from the general budget. At the event, District 3 County Commissioner JoAnn Birrell delivered remarks highlighting the importance of the Friendship Club’s mission. InCommunity was honored to join other inspiring organizations, including Sunshine on a Rainey Day, Special Needs Cobb, and Cobb County Special Olympics, who were also recognized with grants for their impactful work.
The Friendship Club’s investment strengthens InCommunity’s ability to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
