More than 75 members of the National Charity League, Inc., South Coast Chapter (NCL, Inc.), together worked toward the goal of exceeding last year’s outreach efforts at We Care in Los Alamitos. We Care is one of 19 Philanthropies that are supported by the South Coast Chapter of NCL.
“As one of our most cherished community partners, NCL South Coast is passionate about serving We Care,” said Sheila Totorp, President. “Being able to provide meals and groceries around the holidays for the deserving families We Care supports is such a special way to impart in our daughters the generosity of the season.”
The mother and daughter members of NCL, Inc. collectively contributed more than 560 hours to We Care in Los Alamitos to shop and package food items for families in need this holiday season. Mothers and daughters shopped on two separate days at the Stater Brother’s grocery store in Long Beach. Food was provided for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, as well as items for the remainder of the weeks. South Coast Chapter is proud of its collective impact in serving its community. Each member contributed in a variety of areas. Along with the most recent efforts, NCL suppled Easter meals for families working with case manager, 36 backpacks with school supplies, and provides monetary donation through the philanthropic recipient grant process in the amount of $7,000. Mother and Daughters pairs also volunteer at We Care’s annual fundraiser in April.
“I have worked with NCL for the past 14 years. Their willingness to work with We Care allows us to better promote the welfare of others,” said Rob Lowenberg, Executive Director for We Care. “Thank you NCL for believing in the We Care mission, helping us meet the needs and improving the quality of life for our clients.”
