We welcome
groups!!!
We love having groups at NCM whether from local civic
clubs, schools, scout troops, churches, etc.
Groups support NCM in a number of ways:
Contact us
Food Drives
We suggest having a food drive so that you can bring in
the canned goods from your group and stock the shelves.
Your group could also raise funds to purchase food.
We gladly accept financial donations designated for the food pantry. We
have volunteers who really know how to maximize the purchasing power of
a dollar!
Check out our guidelines for
groups.
Break down bulk
donations
School groups often work on repackaging bulk items
into packages that we give out to clients.
We suggest that you bring your own donated items to
guarantee work for your group. For example, large containers of laundry
detergent, rice, diapers, and even toilet paper can be broken down by your
group and then put on the shelves. We provide the bags and markers for
breaking down the items.
We cannot always guarantee that we will have enough
special projects to keep your group occupied, but we will try our best to
accommodate you and keep you busy.
Check out our guidelines for
groups.

Volunteer during client service hours
Adult groups and older youth can help serve clients
during client service hours.
Some groups adopt one or two days a month and
provide a number of volunteers to fill the various roles required to
serve our clients.
See our description of
individual
opportunities for more details.
Check out our guidelines for
groups.
Guidelines for groups
Contact NCM to schedule the date and
time of your visit.
We will need a contact name and phone number.
We can accommodate 1 or 2 groups at a time
depending on the activities and the size of the groups.
Groups that include children need to have adult
supervision. We suggest 1 adult per 4 to 5 kids depending on the
age. We recommend that school groups be in 1st grade or higher.
