In December, members from the Lamorinda chapter of National Charity League (NCL) gathered together at the Lafayette Library & Learning Center with the hope of brightening the holidays of those less fortunate. Each year at this time, the Lamorinda NCL chapter works just a little bit harder to help those in need and this year was no different. Stockings were stuffed with treats and necessities and warm blankets were made for delivery to the Monument Crisis Center in Concord.
When the evening was over, hundreds of stockings had been filled and warm blankets had been assembled, all to be donated to the Crisis Center's many patrons in need. Lamorinda NCL chapter president Mary Torchio commented on the evening's impact, "We dedicated our entire November meeting to working together and getting as much done as we could to help those in need at the Monument Crisis Center - one of our many philanthropy partners. I was so pleased that this year we were able to give the center an abundance of much needed support thanks to the help of our members."
NCL is a volunteer organization composed of mothers and daughters who join together in community involvement. The Lamorinda chapter has a membership of 260 mothers and daughters, in grades 7 through 12, all of whom actively participate in local philanthropic programs.
