🍎☀️ A Day of Fall Fun! 🍂

Today was filled with fun in the sun and unforgettable memories for our NWCC youth at Curran’s Apple Orchard! ❤️

Our youth enjoyed a hayride, delicious apple c***r and donuts, a visit to the petting farm, and the best part—picking their very own apples! 🍎🐐🚜

We’re grateful for opportunities like these that allow our youth to get outdoors, explore, learn, and simply enjoy being kids!

❤️ NWCC: Building memories, one experience at a time!

📚✨ A Special Day at NWCC! ✨📚

Today, some of our NWCC youth had the opportunity to be read to by State Representative Maurice West—and in a fun twist, two of our youth had the opportunity to read to him as well! ❤️📖

We’re grateful to Representative West for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit Northwest Community Center, connect with our youth, and share in the joy of reading.

Thank you, Rep. West, for spending time with us! We appreciate you! 🙌🏾📚❤️
