ANNUAL REPORT AT A GLANCE
Through the NCSF
court system, our
members move their
faith into action in
local communities.
They give of themselves, so their
community will improve and the
people living there will have better
lives. Our Hearts and
Hands matching funds program is
instrumental in helping where the
need is greatest.
Throughout the year our courts held
30 Hearts and Hands events donating
$125,604 for local causes. Courts
raised $96,334 and NCSF matched
$29,270.
These funds help to support Catholic
education, Catholic parishes, Meals
on Wheels, Alzheimer's support,
individuals in need, and more.
Our members also visit hospitals
and nursing homes, collect towels
to be donated during Lent, collect
used eyeglasses for the needy,
make rosaries for missionaries, and
are an integral part of their parish
community. NCSF members continue
to make a difference.
