In the D.C. Metropolitan area, 42% of students experience poverty and have their natural gifts and abilities muted because their shoes do not fit, their clothes are too small, they do not have the eyeglasses they need to see the board, or stubborn toothaches drown out the voice of the teacher.

Each year, NCCF distributes over $1,000,000 in goods and services to students in need. These items include brand new coats, school uniforms, shoes, school supplies, bedding, grocery store gift cards, personal hygiene products, laptops, and medical, vision, and dental care. With your support, we can provide basic essentials and remove the barriers of poverty. Together, we can help students benefit from a quality education that will define their future.
