Greetings and Happy New Year!

We enter 2026, with a sense of accomplishment and great optimism for another exceptional year for those we serve. For more than 18 years, NOC’s unwavering commitment has been to uplift those in need, and this guiding purpose will continue to shape our actions in the year ahead.

In the coming months, NOC will intensify its efforts to expand outreach programs, with particular emphasis on education and enrichment for children, health and wellness, and workforce/ community development. These programs are designed to help individuals and families enjoy a better quality of life and attain greater self-sufficiency.

Notably, in 2026, NOC will broaden its impact in Beaufort County through its five learning centers. In addition, a new learning center will be launched in Bluffton, SC, extending NOC’s outreach programs to serve more children and families. This expansion reflects our enduring mission: to empower people in need by providing them opportunities for economic independence and social progress.

By continuing to collaborate with our partners and the community, we remain confident that together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of many, especially those striving to overcome challenges and move forward in life.

May the new year bring health, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones. With sincere best wishes for 2026, let us move forward with resolve and hope, dedicated to the shared vision of a brighter future for all.

Be a caring neighbor…

Wexford Foundation Thank You

August 9, 2025 By NOC

With heartfelt gratitude, Neighborhood Outreach Connection thanks the Wexford Foundation for its Major Impact Grant.

NOC has been creating pathways for individuals, children, and families to lift themselves out of poverty through its impactful programs. Over the past year, NOC has transformed its flagship Learning Center–The New Oaks on Hilton Head Island–into a true center of excellence.

Each space within the center has been redesigned and upgraded with modern technology and new furniture to create high-quality learning environments. The New Oaks is now a vibrant hub intentionally designed for both child and adult learning, as well as a space for community engagement and development.

The Wexford Foundation’s meaningful partnership will live on in the dedication of our PK/Kindergarten room, where our youngest learners will have the delight of learning in a vibrant, engaging space. The children also have access to a take-home library, helping them connect books and literacy to their families and friends which extends the impact of learning beyond the classroom.

We are making positive changes in the lives of our neighbors in need–and we deeply appreciate the Wexford Foundation along with other major donors and friends of NOC for being such caring neighbors.
