Support a Family During the Holidays!
NCNA’s Compassion in Action Committee is once again partnering with Common Pantry to support 50 families this holiday season - spots are filling up quickly, so sign up today to help spread holiday cheer!
The CIA committee and Common Pantry will provide volunteers with family information by Friday, November 20th, including specific wish lists and clothing sizes for each family member.

The CIA committee will coordinate delivery of all gifts to Common Pantry in time for the holidays!
We’re looking for 50 volunteers, each sponsoring one family and coordinating gifts based on their family’s wish lists.
