Our First Volunteer Recognition Event

To show our appreciation for our wonderful volunteers, we invited them to NCCenter for our very first Volunteer Recognition Event. Our guests were treated to appetizers and desserts on a late Sunday afternoon in May. New Covenant Center's Volunteer Coordinator David Lovegreen addressed the crowd with these heartfelt words:  "Not only are you providing sustenance though nutrition - you're also feeding the spirit."
From all of us at NCCenter, we can't thank you enough!




Bankwell Financial Group Donates $2500!

Georgetown University Alumni Dish It Up!
The Georgetown University Alumni Club of Fairfield County brought some volunteer "game" to  NCCenter this month. As part of our "Social Night of Service," more than 25 Hoyas arrived in their own blue and gray aprons (school colors) to cook up breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, and roasted veggies which were served the next day. If you'd like to throw a Social Night of Service with your own alumni association, business organization, religious group -- or even just your friends -- contact our Volunteer Coordinator David Lovegreen (dlovegreen@ccfc-ct.org) 
for details. 


National Charity League Food Drive
Members of the National Charity League in New Canaan brought their families to help man tables and collect donated food outside Walter Stewart's Market in New Canaan. More than 2500 food pantry items were collected AND almost $400 in cash donations.
Food drives are wonderful ways to help NCCenter -- many thanks to National Charity League for their succesful efforts! 

They Make Tasty Pasta Salad!
Volunteers from First Presbyterian Church offered up their culinary skills to make lunch for our guests. In the photo below, volunteer Dick York scrapes the last bunch of black olives into the cold pasta salad that the First Presbyterian team prepared on a warm spring day this month.   We are grateful to First Presbyterian for its 20 years of service at NCCenter!
