PCC Food Bank Program — 2011 update
Thank you for helping the hungry
Since 1988, PCC has used cash donations from shoppers to purchase nutritious bulk food at wholesale prices to feed the hungry in neighborhoods served by PCC. Volunteers from the community repackage the bulk food, making the program a great example of neighbor helping neighbor.
The PCC Food Bank Program had another successful year in 2011. The program raised $64,242 which supported nine local food banks be purchasing 58,217 pounds of bulk food. More than 831 volunteers pitched in to help repackage the food.
