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.

☕ Three premium coffees
🎬 One movie ticket with popcorn
🍔 A couple of fast-food lunches
..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.

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.

It was an honor to be a part of Accenture Metro DC's Freshman Send-Off 2026. Watching 51 incredible college-bound young people take it all in, ask great questions, and connect with each other was a reminder of exactly why this work matters.

None of this happens without an extraordinary team of people pulling in the same direction. To Patrice thank you for your ten years of fighting to make sure deserving students get the send-off they deserve. To Elaine, Molly, and the entire Accenture Metro DC team…what you created for these 51 young people was extraordinary! Thank you for being the kind of corporate partner that makes programs like this possible.

And can we talk about the tailgate theme? 🏈🎉 Bringing a taste of college game day energy into the event was the perfect way to give honorees a real feel for what campus life is all about: the community, the excitement, and the sense of belonging that comes with it. It set exactly the right tone for an afternoon of celebration.

Finally, to the honorees: YOU ARE READY. Go show the world what you've got. 🎓❤️
