For today’s Volunteer Appreciation Week spotlight, we’d like to recognize our Family Care Closet (FCC) volunteers! The FCC is an NCCP-run school-based food pantry that allows students and families to shop for items they may need, including non-perishable foods, household and hygiene items, and learning resources for students. Family Care Closet volunteers help us organize goods, stock shelves, and assist shoppers. A huge thank you goes out to these volunteers for helping us keep the FCC a warm and welcoming place for families to shop!

School is a place for learning, but it can also be a place for fun! For today’s Volunteer Appreciation Week spotlight, we’d like to recognize our school-based volunteers! These volunteers support students during our After School Enrichment Program (ASEP) and Saturday Enrichment Program (SEP), intended to expose them to activities from homework and journaling to art, science, and intramurals! School-based volunteers help students build healthy relationships and learn valuable life skills in a safe and inclusive environment. Thank you, ASEP and SEP volunteers, for helping students reach their fullest potential!
