Help save a child’s eyesight
For every bottle of PCC brand vitamins or supplements you buy in the month of March, you’ll save the eyesight of one child. Vitamin Angels is a nonprofit dedicated to providing vital nutrition in the form of supplements to developing countries, communities and individuals in need. It is currently working to eliminate childhood blindness by the year 2020 through the systematic distribution of vitamin A to at-risk children.
Twenty-five cents from the sale of each PCC brand vitamin or supplement will be donated and will cover the cost of the vitamin A and antiparasitics needed to save a child from blindness.

PCC contribution to Haiti recovery
Within hours of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, PCC donated $25,000 to the American Red Cross for relief efforts.

We have been thanked warmly by the American Red Cross and thank our members and shoppers for their overwhelmingly positive response.

PCC Cooks
March signals the official beginning of spring and with it comes more outdoor activity and a shift in our meals to lighter fare. Two classes this month can help you in your spring meal planning.
Make your weeknight meals seem like special occasions by adding fresh, new flavors to your favorite entrees. Instructor Karista Bennett in Salsas, Sauces and Compotes makes South American Chimmichurri Sauce for beef or fish, and salsas such as Pineapple Cilantro Salsa and Mango Avocado Salsa to brighten up any dish.
In Early Spring Detox, chef Birgitte Antonsen and nutritionist Karen Lamphere combine their culinary and clinical talents in an overview of the detoxification process. They’ll explain how you can strengthen your immunity, lose winter weight, or simply feel great with delicious, cleansing recipes.
Details on all classes are in the current catalog, available in PCC stores, or at PccCooks.com. Register online or call 206-545-7112.
