Franklin Community Center (FCC), a Saratoga Springs-based organization that provides basic necessities and services to individuals and families, is pleased to announce its 2021-2022 Board of Directors.

FCC’s board is comprised of civic, business and community leaders elected to serve and guide the organization into a successful future.
Assuming the role of Board President, Zachary Manz has served on the board for 6 years.
“Our grass-roots and non-bureaucratic approach remains a board priority, as we work together to grow this non-profit and promote healthy lifestyles and positive changes,” Manz said.
FCC also wishes to sincerely thank its outgoing board members for their years of service. Long-time board member George Igler has served on FCC’s Board for over 25 years. His involvement goes back to the establishment of FCC and his wealth of historical knowledge and information has been integral in the creation and success of FCC’s programs. Chris Cook has served on the board for 9 years. Outgoing Board President, Jason Lynch, has served on the board for 3 consecutive terms. His service includes being an active member of several committees during his tenure. He also chaired the FCC’s successful capital campaign to raise funds for the expansion of the food pantry in 2014. Each will be greatly missed.
