School Programs
-
NATCAvist volunteers gathered
again at the end of the summer to coordinate the shopping for school
supplies. Every possible supply was sought out and sale prices were our
goal. Special thanks to Mike Palumbo (DAL) who managed to find the most
sales across the metroplex. Supplies of pencils, crayons, markers, paper,
notebooks, glue, and even backpacks were delivered to two locations for
distribution to needy students. The children were thrilled with their
supplies but especially excited to have a brand new backpack they could
call their own. This worthwhile program receives such wonderful thanks and
is one of many niches NCF likes to fill in our search for projects that
make a difference in our communities. Many thanks to all who helped with
shopping, delivery, and especially with donated dollars to make this
program possible!.

HURRICANE RELIEF REPORT
- Special Thanks to NATCAvists for
the heartwarming donations and time to help with our Katrina Relief Programs. NATCA Charitable Foundation
has a number of programs completed and is planning more ways to help over the
upcoming months. We recently purchased back packs and all the necessary school
supplies for the children that have relocated to our cities. Packs were stuffed
and labeled according to age and distributed to the children of families
evacuated from New Orleans. Meacham Field terminal is assisting over 130
evacuees, donations of clothes were received and a local dry cleaner donated
services. NATCA Charitable Foundation provided laundry bags for each of the
families. In the Houston area we provided 'Apartment Starter Kits' to families
moving from temporary shelters into local apartments. Kits contained a variety
of cleaning supplies, linens, and basics for a kitchen set-up. We also donated
bottled water to the Houston area FEMA offices for the many evacuees who were
having to wait hours in line to speak with an officer. Water and apples were
both passed out to those waiting in the heat as the lines wrapped around the
building and wound through the parking lot. We will continue to monitor and assess needs. Water, food, work and
school uniforms, transportation and housing needs - the needs list is very large
and we are committed to helping those who have suffered in this tragedy.
