<p>Last year, as a group, Folsom NCL completed 3941 community volunteer hours in and around Folsom.

In addition, 37 Moms and daughters earned Mother-Daughter Awards by completing over 25 hours of philanthropy together.</p>
<p>Some of these local charities served include City of Folsom, Prairie City Landing Assisted Living, Powerhouse Ministries, Soil Born Farms, Fat Kitty City, Snowline Hospice, Twin Lakes Food Bank and Troopathon. The chapter also participates in the National Charity League’s National Philanthropy Initiatives supporting the American Heart Association, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Operation Gratitude. </p>
<p>In 2025, the National Charity League will be celebrating a century of empowering mothers and daughters. In 1925 the charity league was created, eventually becoming the nation’s first mother-daughter charity organization. For the past 100 years, NCL has supported a mission to foster the mother-daughter relationships through an ongoing commitment to philanthropy, culture and leadership. Not only does the organization promote being a responsible citizen and learning life long values through volunteering, but it empowers women with the skills and confidence to mentor and lead. </p>
<p>NCL provides a depth of support to local charities with members modeling shared values of integrity, graciousness and excellence while honoring a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. The national philanthropic organization has over 200,000 members and alumnae in hundreds of chapters across the nation. Last year, members contributed more than 2.7 million volunteer hours to more than 6,000 local philanthropy partners and their chapters, resulting in a $78 million fiscal impact. The National Charity League will be holding their annual membership drive January 15-March 1 2025.</p>
