  • Warm Coats – Held in November, this program offers coats and winter accessories for all family members of current NFCC clients.
  •  Thanksgiving Food – In November, families can receive groceries to prepare a holiday meal in their home.
  • Toyland Shop – Each December, NFCC provides an opportunity for qualified parents to select toys for their children.
