Welcome
Welcome to the official website for the Front Door Social Charity Club. The FDSCC is the only known federally recognized 501 (c) (3) public charity on the Mainland founded by local African Americans. Over the years, the community has come to relay on the FDSCC as a pillar of the community for uplift and civic awareness. We can shape and cultivate our community to level the playing field between the “have” and the “have nots”.
On behalf of its founder, Mr. Alfred “Fats” Gary, the FDSCC may just be the opportunity you’ve been looking for if you have the passion and the time to “Make a Difference” in our community.
