NCC was founded in 1982 by a group of churches that envisioned working cooperatively to provide emergency food and financial services. NCC still has a strong base of member churches in Colorado Springs that support NCC by providing volunteers, monetary gifts, and donation of food pantry items. In addition to church support, NCC program costs are supplemented through partnerships with individuals, community organizations and foundations. Currently, NCC provides services to 15 zip code areas encompassing 71% of the population of Colorado Springs and provides services to all of Colorado Springs with several programs.
 
The evening before the Health Fair and Back-to-School Program our dental provider had to cancel. This was a huge disappointment as dental screening is a very popular and important health screening provided at the Fair. While setting up the next morning, one of NCC's regular volunteers happened to overhear that the dental provider had canceled. Bill piped up that he was a retired dentist and that his wife Betty, who was also volunteering at the Fair that day, was a retired dental assistant and that they would be happy to conduct the screenings. God provided willing hearts and the right skills, and Bill and Betty performed 56 dental screenings! What a testimony to God's provision! ~July 14, 2007
