Holiday Support for Your Family
NCTR provides multiple gifts for each child and holiday groceries for local families. Advance registration helps us plan for the number and ages of children we will serve.
What Families Can Receive
Holiday Groceries
Each family receiving grocery assistance can choose a turkey, ham, or chicken, along with a sack of potatoes and the traditional holiday fixings.
