The Breakfast Program and Food Pantry

The Breakfast Program (NVCS’ most long standing program of over 30 years) and Food Pantry help address the extreme poverty and homelessness pervasive in NVCS’ community.  Each month approximately 120 homeless adults and residents attend the Breakfast Program, where they are provided a hot meal, a shower and basic grooming supplies during the three weekday mornings it operates. The Food Pantry operates twice a month, each time helping approximately 375 individuals and families make ends meet.

Health Clinics

NVCS partners with several medical centers and health care providers to host a variety of free monthly health clinics, each of which benefits approximately 40 young children and/or adults.  Monthly clinics have included: pediatric dental care, pap smears, mammograms, blood pressure screenings, vision screenings, and sugar level tests. In addition, last year Lens Crafters provided glasses to over 55 families though one of their clinics.
