Our virtual conference is such a success we thought we’d make our toy drives virtual this year as well. COVID-19, as you know, has had a huge impact on everyone. More than ever there are people in dire need of help as the holidays approach.

NACM Connect is hoping that our members will dig deep to contribute whatever is possible to the charity we adopted last year – Child Initiative International and Santa Cop. Complete descriptions of their projects including donation information can be found at https://www.ciintl.org/projects. Founded by a member and doing remarkable work in the Rockford, Illinois area as well hosting and supporting orphanages in Uganda, the work CII is doing has changed the lives of so many.

Won’t you help them change more?

From the CII Projects Page there are links to their donation page. Contributions can be made by credit card in any amount you choose. $55 takes care of one child at Christmas, gifting them with one toy, one new outfit, winter coat and shoes, along with a full Christmas dinner for the family. But even $1 helps, and any amount is appreciated. When you donate you will be asked how you heard about CII. Please type ‘NACM Connect’ in that space so that CII knows that the members of NACM Connect care.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!  And here’s hoping next year
we can continue our local open houses.
