ABOUT US
The Story Behind FGMOCA
Full Gospel Mission Outreach Community Alliance (FGMOCA) was born from a simple desire to help people during one of the most challenging periods in recent history.
Founded by Ursula Morfaw, a dedicated healthcare professional and community advocate, FGMOCA began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a small informal network of approximately ten women and men who came together to support one another and assist families facing uncertainty, isolation, financial hardship, and emotional stress.
As a frontline nurse, Ursula witnessed firsthand the profound impact that the pandemic had on individuals, families, seniors, newcomers, and vulnerable members of the community. Recognizing the importance of community support and collective action, she worked alongside a group of committed volunteers to provide encouragement, practical assistance, information sharing, and social support to those in need.
