Each year INCA strives to do amazing things for the people within our communities. While we are providing essential services to those in need all year long we also cannot forget how important the Christmas season is and what impact we can have on the young children who believe in magic. Each holiday season our employees ban together and not only recruit volunteers but also volunteer themselves to make these projects successful. Without the dedicated members of the community and INCA staff members we would not be able to achieve dynamic results that can help influence a positive prospective of the world.
