A 28-day campaign seeks to raise money and awareness for the Roswell-based organization.

The initiative is supported by Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle, Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker, Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood, Mountain Park Mayor Jim Still and Roswell Mayor Jere Woods. The local leaders each signed a joint proclamation recognizing February as Have A Heart for NFCC month and “calling upon the citizens to join in the celebration by making a contribution in support of the great work that NFCC is doing to enhance the quality of life in our city,” stated the release.
