Northern Valley Catholic Social Service Inc. (NVCSS)

A Matter of the Heart For over 34 years, NVCSS has been a trusted beacon of hope throughout the north state. This year was no exception, as we continued our many programs and also played a significant role in disaster services. NVCSS provides many valuable services to support vulnerable populations within our community through generous gifts and volunteer assistance. We have been touched to serve those most in need...the young; the desolate; the families holding onto the...ir last thread of hope. If you are in a position to make an end-of-year gift to a non-profit, we ask that you consider NVCSS. Your contribution today could change a life forever, and THAT is a matter of the heart. https://nvcss.org/donations

Today, Katie with our CalFresh Healthy Living team dropped off 10 recipe bags with ingredients to women at The Catalyst Safe House. This Roasted Vegetable Medley is a healthy vegetarian dish or a great side. It's a wonderful winter recipe! https://eatfresh.org/re/side-dish/roasted-vegetable-medley #nvcss #inspiringhope #transforminglives #CalFresh #healthylifestyle #education #eathealthy #healthyhabits https://nvcss.org/programs/calfresh/...

We had such a great turnout at our safe alternative to Halloween event this past Saturday! The CASA Superhero Drive-Thru was a smashing success. More pictures to come, but check out what the group from Apex Technology Management, Inc. put together for their booth on the #SuperheroSpeedway! The event was such a great reminder that when community members come together, fabulous things are possible! Lots of smiles all around -- even behind our masks :) Thank you to EVERY volunteer, business sponsor, and trick-or-treater that made this event everything that we hoped it would be!
