How We Make Music Matter

NCC is committed to making music matter to the community and making it matter for each other. Each week we meet, encourage each other and make music together. We do raise money to help make music matter to others, but it takes dedication to make music matter each week in rehearsal. Join us in making music matter each week, it is worth the effort!

While in the program, participants receive food, shelter, and comprehensive support services.  Client families also have the opportunity to develop enduring life skills through individualized case management by staff and through personal mentoring by volunteers.

Thanks to all who support this amazing organization that supports families in the Northland.

"Chocolate, Carnations & Love Songs"  and Hillcrest Transitional Housing

"Chocolate, Carnations & Love Songs"
February 9, 2014  3:00 PM

NCC Raised and Donated: $270

Thank you to all who braved the snow to support this cause! 

The proceeds of our 2014 Valentine's Day concert benefited Hillcrest Transitional Housing.  Hillcrest Transitional Housing offers homeless families, singles & youth a disciplined educational program within a caring, supportive environment. Unlike many organizations whose focus is one-time or emergency care, Hillcrest’s primary objective is to move clients from homelessness to self-sufficiency within 90 days by addressing the total life situation of the homeless families they serve, though longer term transitional housing options may be available to clients with excessive barriers to housing. Hillcrest also provides a transitional housing program for homeless teens and young adults, ages 16-21, who have an educational goal. This unique program offers housing & supportive services for up to 24 months.  In exchange for rent/utility-free housing, adults are required by written agreement to find full-time employment, obey program guidelines and attend weekly volunteer-taught classes in life skills, employment, community living and budgeting. Hillcrest also provides to clients in the transitional housing programs the following, through a network of community support: auto repair/donation, food pantry, medical assistance, dental work, GED classes, haircuts, glasses, school clothes, work uniforms, etc.

The Hillcrest affiliates are each stand-alone non-profit 501c3 organizations, with five affiliate locations in the greater Kansas City Metro area – Platte, Buchanan, Eastern Jackson Counties in Missouri and Wyandotte & Johnson Counties in Kansas – supported by the local communities and community service volunteers.
