The CNF supports caring efforts through special initiatives and grants aimed at relieving a broad spectrum of individual needs that include but are not limited to food, clothing, shelter, health care, drug addiction, education, counseling, and, most importantly, neighbor-to-neighbor communication and cooperation.

The CNF looks to the day that the dream President Roosevelt had for our nation is realized here and around the world. His dream is spelled out in the Second Bill of Rights:

• The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation.

• The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.

• The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return that will give him and his family a decent living;

• The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

• The right of every family to a decent home;

• The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

• The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

• The right to a good education.

The path to the world where each neighbor is a treasure to cherish is one act of caring at a time.
