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 programs 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.

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
For more than 20 years, October has been recognized as Health Literacy Month. During health literacy month, we urge you to build health literacy through action!
Studies show that many patients are embarrassed to ask questions when they're confused by what a doctor or health care provider is saying. If you don't understand what your provider is telling you or only understand part of it, ask questions. Don't be embarrassed! You may even want to bring a checklist to your appointment to remind you of questions to ask and concerns to address.
By collectively working to improve health literacy, we’ll create a more equitable world where everyone can access high-quality care and achieve positive health outcomes.
