(Decatur, AL - December 23rd, 2023) ‒ The NAFECO Community Children's Fund (NCCF) was established in 2010 by the employees of NAFECO, a family-owned and operated corporation based in Decatur, Alabama. The goal of NCCF is to raise funds to purchase and distribute Christmas gifts for local elementary school students whose families aren't able to do so. Our target areas are the counties where NAFECO employees live and the schools in which NAFECO employees' children and grandchildren attend.

Throughout the year, funds are collected through payroll deductions from NAFECO employees. In the years since NCCF was established, NAFECO employees have raised more than $50,000.00 and provided Christmas gifts for over 300 local children. This year we were able to provide gifts for 36 children.

Many thanks and appreciation to our NCCF Committee "elves" who donate their personal time to shop for and deliver gifts to the schools for distribution to the students.
