What Northcott Neighborhood House does

Northcott Neighborhood House is a multipurpose community centre that provides educational and recreational programs such as a food pantry, job training for the construction trades, gymnasium, education, and other social services. Their goal is to lift the spirits of the whole community through their mission: to empower families to meet their survival needs and provide good parenting to their children, to provide a safe place for youth as well as recreational and skill-building activities—after school, on saturdays, and in the summer, to provide the neighbourhood with space, activities, and the opportunity to engage in community building and crime prevention.
