Women at NCCW create holiday cards for U.S. troops

August 30, 2021

It may still be summer but women at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW) are already looking towards the holiday season of giving. Twenty-eight women at NCCW worked hard to create 70 holiday cards, which will be given to U.S. military troops serving overseas to send back home to their families. These creative cards turned out fantastic and will surely bring joy to families across the country!

Thank you to these ladies for sharing your creative talents to make a difference. NCCW is planning to hold more of these events in the near future.
