Piedmont Friends Fellowship and Yearly Meeting
Welcome to the Piedmont Friends Fellowship (PFF) and the Piedmont Friends Yearly Meeting (PFYM) website.
PFF and PFYM are related but separate Friends (Quaker) organizations that share appropriate common activities for the benefit of both.
Meetings and worship groups that are members of PFF and PFYM are generally located in Piedmont North Carolina and adjacent areas of Virginia and South Carolina.
