Family Nites

Family Nites are scheduled up to six times each school year. Sessions are from one-two hours in length with activities for each family member. Adults and children receive information and have interaction with a wide variety of community resource persons. While parents receive needed information on parenting issues, topics for children range from safety information to making decorations for up-coming holidays.

Each session is free, bi-lingual, includes dinner and is co-sponsored by area organizations and churches. Check What’s Going On for times, dates and registrations information.

Summer Free Lunch

In 1989, NSC asked that this free program be established based on the high percentage of children who qualified for the free lunch program during the school year. NSC provides annual documentation of needs, works to establish an easy access site, recruits volunteers, and helps with the recruitment of children ages 1 through 18.

The City of Garland, working with RISD Lunch Program, annually provides lunches to over 350 children in the Spring Valley / Coit Road area Cottonwood Park. See What's Going On for dates, times and locations.

Health & Prevention Services

NSC has worked to establish community health and prevention services at WIC (Women’s, Infants and Children) and the North Dallas Clinic. For more information contact WIC or call (214) 670-7200 or you can go to 7995 LBJ Freeway in Dallas Suite 201.

In addition NSC campers learn the importance of health and prevention through educational activities such as dental care, hair care, manicures, dressing for warm/cold weather, healthy eating habits, drug/alcohol awareness, physical fitness and much more. NSC also has parenting sessions with experts who provide similar information for parents.
