NCC Programs
Food Pantry
Member churches contribute non-perishable food and personal care items for distribution from our pantry. Each client is interviewed to assess other needs that might be addressed. Food packages are provided according to family size and need.
Financial Assistance Financial assistance is limited to the following areas of need: rental assistance, utility assistance, job related transportation, clothing for work or school, medical care, and occasional miscellaneous expenses. Candidates for financial help are screened via a confidential application and interview process. Vouchers or direct payment to creditors are used rather than money given directly to an applicant.
