NCCAA Christian Service Projects (CSPs)
The NCCAA is making a difference for Christ in lives around the world through athletics. Teams participating in NCCAA Regional Championships collect and donate non-perishable food items for local food banks in host communities around the U.S.
2010-11 CSP/Food Drive Report
Last year, NCCAA student-athletes, coaches and staff collected and donated 14,000 pounds (7 tons) of food, over $2,500 cash and 1,300 pounds of clothes to food pantries and shelters in communities nationwide! Reports were received of the overwhelming encouragement these donations were, often arriving in the nick of time…or in God’s timing.
