Community Services Committee

  • The Community Services Committee fulfills the portion of the HCCF Mission statement that states to: “improve the quality of life within the local community.”   Since its inception, this Committee has worked toward addressing some of the neglected areas of need in North Port including the hunger of students and their families, assistance for those in nursing homes who have little and benefit from good cheer and conversation at holiday times, and collection and distribution of gifts and toys to those North Port children who would otherwise go without the cheer at Christmas because their families are struggling with income related needs.   Check out a few examples of the committee’s fine work below.

    Conduct Food Drives

    Help Needy Elders
