NC Empowered – December 2020
See newsletter for complete articles
If that sounds crazy easy to you, that's because it is! We worked hard to make donating to the NCCAA network as easy as drinking coffee every day. How? We developed a custom coffee blend called NEW Grounds Coffee. All the proceeds go directly to the NCCAA network so we can keep fighting poverty! These funds are unrestricted, which means they allow us to fund new projects, put more money behind our current programs, and fill the gaps that currently exist.
This is the perfect Christmas gift for your employees, family, friends and yourself!
NCCAA’s next Head Start Family Engagement certification starts December 7 and the Case Management certification starts January 4.

The new ramp is a God-send. It takes so much stress away and will prevent any falls.”
