NCM also provides employment workshops, budgeting guidance and other seasonal support including school supplies and Christmas assistance. "Even though we are fortunate to receive support from many local churches and businesses, we frequently reach capacity before we even open our doors," said John Byerley, Executive Director for NCM. "Donations of any size, including this donation from Peach State can make a big difference for a family in need and help us achieve our goal of transforming the lives of the people we help."
