The organization was created to transition from informal volunteer support to a structured, sustainable system of services for Afghan individuals and families. NACC collaborates with local leaders, volunteers, and partners to coordinate donation drives, volunteer groups, and community initiatives. The center operates through five key community initiatives, each supported by dedicated volunteers and workers.
