Founded as an orphanage in 1915, The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) is a force for human change. We serve homeless children and their parents, survivors of domestic violence, impoverished families, and abused and neglected adolescents. It is our mission to ensure that those who have suffered significant assaults on their childhood have the opportunity to heal and grow. Nationally accredited, NCCF propels more than 44,000 children, youth, and families annually into an improved quality of life through 18 local programs
