NECC Montbello Inc. is a community non-profit organization
that offers services and program for everyone in the community. 95% of our volunteers are within the community and we share
a common goal in embracing the “ENTIRE” family structure. Our services and programs range from providing daycare
assistance to educating the “AT-RISK TEENS” and adults within a single household. NECC Montbello Inc. offers solutions
and not just information to better meet the needs of the residents. Over the years, we have surveyed the community and found
that a great deal of orginizations simply offers information on solutions instead of approaching and breaking the chain of
poverty. Everyone is deserving of an opportunity to succeed in life. Please see our list of programs for details.
WE ARE A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF A STORM…
Our
Goal
Our goal is to support and conduct
non-partisan education and informal behavior courses to increase public awareness through family values, financial instructions,
and support through subsidizing their food budget. Allowing these families to focus on other areas of growth is directly related
to the success of the individual.

children in a single household. Our young single parents are also striving to provide a better way of living for their children
while maintaining their current survival
abilities.
