NCCF members Jane Francis and Carole Saunders helped the Nelson County Garden Club kick off its spring season with a presentation at the club’s March 1 meeting. Jane (pictured) answered questions from the garden club members about NCCF’s mission to support education, health care, emergency aid, and other humanitarian needs addressed by local nonprofits. She explained how NCCF makes grants to qualifying nonprofits twice a year, and how donations to NCCF go a long way toward meeting diverse needs in the county.
