My Nonprofit Reviews

I, and other seniors in my neighborhood, am thankful for North County Community Foodbank's service to all members of the community and in particular seniors. We were raised to be independent and resolve challenges on our own. However, there are times when many seniors need help. The care and compassion with which NCCFB provides its services makes all feel welcome and valued.

A mission of North County Community Food Bank is to break the cycle of poverty through education and in particular education of children. They address this in a number of venues including nutrition and cooking classes and summer life skills camps for low income young people. Youth make up 41% of NCCFB's clients. The effort to break the cycle of poverty must include a strong emphasis and focus on educating and exposing youth to the prospects and opportunities beyond poverty. They are doing this.
