NCL San Diego del Norte holds beginning of year Mother-Daughter Zoom Meeting
The San Diego del Norte Chapter of National Charity League (NCL, Inc) recently held its beginning of the school year Mother /Daughter Meeting on Zoom. The chapter highlighted summer philanthropy projects and celebrated chapter awards. Over 200 members joined the meeting virtually.
This summer, the members volunteered for many of their partner philanthropies, including collecting canned goods for Jewish Family Services’ Hands Up Food Pantry, sewing masks for nurses, doctors and first responders.

As volunteers, NCL members engaged in beach and neighborhood clean-ups and made paracord bracelets for Operation Gratitude.
