NCCF - The National Center for Children and Families It is the mission of the National Center for Children and Families to create total, healthy living e John B.

June 29, 1915 - 14 homeless children found a home at 904 Newton Street NE, Washington, D.C. This marked the official opening of the National Center for Children and Families (formerly the Baptist Home for Children), a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to serving children in desperate need. Lord, a member of the Brookland Baptist Church in Washington, DC, donated the nine-room house, NCCF’s

first site. November 15, 1931- First Lady Lou Henry Hoover dedicated newly completed dormitories located on a 140-acre farm in Bethesda, Maryland, NCCF’s present day base of operations. Following WWII, NCCF® sold all but 13 acres of the farm to generate needed revenue. For nearly a century, NCCF’s mission has been driven by a great sense of community responsibility for vulnerable children and their families. Today, NCCF’s residential programs serve homeless families, victims of domestic violence, and vulnerable adolescents. Other programs include treatment foster care, social services for family reunification, parenting education, and transitional housing to promote independent living and family stabilization.

..you could provide a vulnerable student with the basic essentials they need to succeed.

When you become a monthly donor to The Neediest Kids (TNK) program, your $25/month doesn't just buy a pair of glasses, a warm coat, or new shoes. It buys confidence. It removes the stress of showing up empty-handed. It tells a child, “We believe in your potential.”

It’s a small luxury to give up, but an absolute game-changer for the 40,000+ local students we serve each year.

A new pair of sneakers. A warm winter jacket. A clear pair of glasses.

To a vulnerable kid right here in the DMV, these aren't just basic items. They are the tools they need to step into the classroom with confidence. Just $25/month can mean a world of difference in a local student's life.

That is exactly why your support for The Neediest Kids (TNK) program is so critical. When you give to TNK, we stretch your generosity to its absolute limit. For every $1 donated, we deliver $120 of impact directly to the students who need it most.
