Food Operations Needs
At present NCF Young Motivators has limited storage for dry goods, very limited storage for frozen goods, and no way to store fresh produce. Lack of refrigerated or frozen storage creates two challenges:1) it restricts our ability to cost-effectively purchase bulk quantities, and2) also requires us to sometimes distribute more produce than a small household can easily use.
We have designated property for construction of an appropriate food storage building, and are actively seeking support for expanding our food storage and services. Further, a dedicated food storage facility will help us teach members of our community healthy cooking skills, economic meal planning, and offer meals to the neediest people in Lake City and Fort White. If we are able to compensate qualified staff and purchase necessary equipment, we will attract new talent in our food operations.

Youth Operations Needs
NCF Young Motivators would like to offer small stipends for youth working on assigned programs. When we are able to compensate Young Motivators, we will be able to teach financial literacy, from the basics of savings - to understand banking - to planning for large purchases.
An influx of funds dedicated for youth financial literacy will further increase pride and self-reliance, helping Young Motivators become stable members of our community.
