DIRECT SERVICES AND REFERRALS
The mission of New Beginnings Community Development Corporation (NBCDC) is to provide transformative services for families in need, independent of race, creed, gender, or religious affiliation. We provide intervention and prevention services that are community-centered, sensitive to the culture and values of the family, and have a lasting impact on the community. Our goal is to promote, and provide programs that ensure optimal health, family functioning, and access to education, employment, and economic empowerment.
From those we help
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”
– Elizabeth Andrew
Why Give?
Every need within the community is ultimately met by supportive Friends and Funds. Government efforts to support the economy are promising, but the needs of many people will likely endure for a much longer period than the efforts cover. For this reason, there is no better time to believe, to begin, and to become -- Believe in your ability to impact unfavorable circumstances, Begin your efforts toward affecting change, and Become a giver. Your gift today will help to inspire change that improves tomorrow for others.
Here are a few ways that you can GIVE:
1. Text GIVENOWNBCDC to 44-321
2. Mail your donation to: PO BOX 241095, Detroit, MI 48224
3. PayPal
4. Join our Fundraising Campaign
Any amount you decide to donate will be very much appreciated and will make a huge
difference in the lives of our neighbors who are positively impacted by our services.
CALENDAR
HEALTH AWARENESS
October Is Health Literacy Month
Many individuals struggle to comprehend or act upon health information due to limited health literacy. Nearly 9 out of 10 adults struggle with health literacy. Even people with high literacy skills may have low health literacy skills in certain situations. Health Literacy Month is a time to recognize the importance of making health information easy to understand and the health care system easier to navigate. It is also a time for each one of us to focus on Personal health literacy, which is the degree to which we can find, understand, and use health information and health services to inform health-related decisions and actions for ourselves and others.
NBCDC joins the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) this month to highlight barriers to accessing and understanding health information, as well as the vital role that health literacy can play in improving health outcomes in the United States.
Health literacy is a central focus of Healthy People 2030, which is a national initiative aimed at improving the health and well-being of all Americans. The overarching goal of the initiative is to “Eliminate health disparities, achieve improved health for all, and attain health literacy to improve the health and well-being of all.”
