​The Emergency Housing Fund alleviates some of that stress that comes with the sudden loss of income or unexpected expenses with a one-time rental or utility payment.

Community resources for rental assistance are extremely limited, and with this fund the NCSD Family Support Center at Wichita has helped keep North Clackamas families housed when a parent's work hours were suddenly reduced, or time off was needed, due to an unexpected illness or emergency, such as wildfires.

​The North Clackamas Family Support Center at Wichita Center brings together health and social services for the benefit of the local community and supports Oregon’s effort to improve education.
​
Your donation to this fund will help improve the well-being of children and families in the North Clackamas School District via their Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, Hygiene Closet, and Homelessness Services.

NCEF's scholarship fund allows us to increase our scholarship awards to graduating North Clackamas high school seniors, so that a lack of money for college isn't a barrier to these students pursuing their professional dreams.

A Lunch Buddy is someone to eat with, someone to talk to, someone to listen to, someone to laugh with, and someone a child can depend on to be there for them.

Your donation to this fund supplies the necessary support to keep this important program operational. (Note: This program is not currently active, due to COVID-19.)
