The approach Executive Director Nicole Bursey said the nonpro t’s mission is to support individuals within the community who are facing hunger, homelessness and other urgent needs. FFS helps families with basic needs like food, clothing and emergency nancial assistance. “We’re taking care of the basics, but also empowering them with the skills and the abilities that they need to move forward in the future,” Bursey said. “In Frisco ... people tend to think that there is no need, [that] everybody’s thriving. What happens in other communities, happens here—it’s just hidden,” Bursey said.
