We strive to help our communities grow and prosper, and we think the best way is to ensure our fellow neighbors are in a position to help others. This is why we aim for long-term goals and offer a hand-up vs. hand-out approach.
NICA provides direct aid to people with pressing needs. We assist 70 - 100 people daily with groceries and hygiene items, and throughout the year we assist with repairs to our senior citizen's homes, and help kids take the right steps towards college.
These items are typically donated, or funds are donated to purchase them. Direct aid items include:
- Furniture (Limited supply)
- Limited Financial Aid (utilities, prescriptions, bus passes, Senior Program ONLY)
- Thanksgiving Baskets (Senior Program ONLY)
- Christmas Clothes and Gifts for Children (Ages 0-12)
