At NCS, Friends who Volunteer Together Stay Together
When Jan Golann learned about how her parish, St. James’ Church, was instrumental in founding NCS, she wanted to learn more about our work and get involved herself.

She loves to share NCS’s work with others, including her good friend and fellow St. James’ parishioner, Faith Fraser.
