Making a Difference Together: InCommunity Participates in North Point Community Church’s 2026 "Be Rich" Campaign

Generosity is about more than giving. It is about showing up, sharing experiences, building relationships, and making meaningful connections within our community. Once again, InCommunity is grateful to participate in North Point Community Church’s annual Be Rich campaign, an initiative that brings people together through acts of service and generosity.

For 2026, InCommunity is hosting three volunteer projects in partnership with North Point Community Church members, creating opportunities to engage with the individuals we support and staff who make our programs special throughout the North Fulton area. Through hands-on activities, shared creativity, and a little sweetness, these projects are making a difference while reminding us of the value of connection and community.

October: Fall Wreath Decorating at UPC

We kicked off this year's Be Rich partnership with a festive afternoon of fall wreath decorating at InCommunity's Unlimited Possibilities Center (UPC) in Roswell. Five North Point volunteers joined individuals at UPC for an afternoon of creativity, conversation, and seasonal fun.

Bringing wonderful crafting skills and plenty of enthusiasm, the volunteers worked alongside individuals to create beautiful fall wreaths and decorations to take home. Just as meaningful as the finished projects were the conversations and connections that developed along the way. Volunteers took time to learn about everyone's interests, share ideas, and enjoy the experience together.

The impact of the afternoon was evident in the kind words volunteers shared afterward. Erin Kuglin expressed her appreciation, saying, "I enjoyed it so much!! Thank you for the opportunity!" Belinda Cook echoed that sentiment, sharing, "I know I thoroughly enjoyed time with the ladies and gentlemen making these fall and Halloween decorations. I hope we will have another opportunity to work with everyone on another craft or garden project!"

November: Look & Cook- Strawberry Shortcake Cups

Our second project brought a little extra sweetness to UPC! North Point volunteers Debbie and Hibret joined individuals for a special Look & Cook activity, making strawberry shortcake cups to share with their friends.

With support from UPC staff member Alexis, everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked together to prepare a delicious treat. The activity offered a wonderful opportunity to practice creativity, teamwork, and kitchen skills, but perhaps the sweetest part was seeing everyone take pride in creating something special for others to enjoy. It was a thoughtful reminder that even the simplest acts of kindness can bring people together.

Our volunteers enjoyed the experience just as much as the individuals they joined. Hibret Belachew reflected, "It was a joy to be part of Wednesday’s Look & Cook activity. Seeing everyone take such pride in making strawberry shortcake cups for their colleagues was a highlight for me, too."

Debbie also shared, "Thank you so much for the opportunity to volunteer at UPC’s Look and Cook activity. I had a wonderful time meeting everyone and helping out. It was such a sweet time for me."

Looking Ahead: One More Project to Go!

We are looking forward to wrapping up our 2026 Be Rich partnership with one more volunteer project in December! We can't wait to welcome our North Point friends back and see what meaningful moments and connections are in store. Stay tuned for a recap of our final project and the impact of this year's volunteer partnership.

InCommunity extends a heartfelt thank-you to North Point Community Church for once again including us in the Be Rich campaign and providing its members with opportunities to serve alongside the individuals and staff who make our programs thrive. We are grateful for every volunteer who has shared their time, talents, and enthusiasm with us.

Most importantly, we hope these experiences have been just as meaningful for North Point's volunteers as they have been for the individuals and staff they have met. Building an inclusive community starts with getting to know one another, sharing experiences, and recognizing the value each person brings. Together, we are creating opportunities for connection, belonging, and community, and we are thankful to be part of it!
