In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we take time to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of service, justice, and community.

Please note: All FIFNC offices will be closed on Monday, January 19th in observance of the holiday.

“Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

If your New Year’s resolution includes getting your family’s legal and financial plans in order, Lifetime Connections is here to help.

This compassionate program from FIFNC supports families planning for the future of loved ones with disabilities, offering guidance on everything from wills and trusts to supported decision-making and ABLE accounts.

Through workshops, one-on-one consultations, and trusted referrals, we help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

As you look ahead to 2026, ask yourself:

🔹Who will help manage care or finances in the future?
🔹Do my estate plans reflect my loved one’s unique needs?
🔹Have I explored all resources available in NC?

Planning for the future can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.
