The North Texas Volunteer Challenge is an annual four-hour day of service to “lend a helping hand” to nonprofit organizations throughout North Texas! 

The North Texas Volunteer Challenge (NTVC) was a great success with more than 202 individuals participating to give 12 nonprofit organizations, new face lifts with coats of paint, trash and brush clean up, landscaping, and volunteers as carnival and senior helpers.
