Stamped With Success: Fulton’s neighborhood center delivers from old post office
Richmond Magazine features a story this month on the Neighborhood Resource Center.
“In 1998, not many in Fulton could have foreseen the transformation of the defunct post office into a community beacon called the Greater Fulton Neighborhood Resource Center (NRC).
Programs offered today include Montessori pre-school; GED classes; employment counseling; health and wellness services; computer training and access; a community garden; a music recording studio; and martial-arts and yoga classes.”
