Ì GOAL 3: ENCOURAGE LOW-INCOME PEOPLE TO OWN A STAKE IN THEIR COMMUNITY Staff and customers are invited to take part in volunteer activities, councils, and committees that have positive impact on the community. Participation in program advisory councils and committees give our customers a chance to contribute their ideas. Ì GOAL 4: CREATE PARTNERSHIPS AMONG SERVICE PROVIDERS AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES NRCA builds committed partnerships and agreements with organizations, area services, and community supporters to ensure our customers’ success.

Ì GOAL 6: STRENGTHEN LOW-INCOME FAMILY SUPPORT SYSTEM NRCA builds strong families by providing supportive services that give families the tools and resources to succeed and achieve financial independence, while embracing core family values.
