NCL is evolving with the current shelter-in-place restrictions in Contra Costa County and beyond, finding creative and meaningful ways to be of service to the community. Sewing masks, making face mask strap adapters for healthcare workers and weaving life-saving paracord bracelets for first responders and troops are just a few of the many new efforts at hand. They are also transitioning from previous on-site volunteer efforts such as weekly help at Aegis Senior Living running Bingo and brain games, to off-site projects. These new, off-site efforts include video making, window posters and birthday drive-by parades for resident seniors to help foster connection during this socially distant time.
The mother and daughter members of NCL, Inc., Acalanes Area Chapter collectively contributed 8,531 hours to various local philanthropies during the previous year, which ended March 31. NCL, Inc., Acalanes Area Chapter currently partners with 33 local philanthropies and is always looking for new ways to serve the community including expanding its list to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
