DID YOU KNOW THAT... The Food Bank set a new record by providing emergency food boxes for 5522 low income individuals in 2010. This year (2011) to date, we have broken all records we keep and still have several months to go. June's Kids Kloset provided 3265 of our neighbors (including 2346 children) with clothing, diapers, formula and layettes in 2010. In three years, the number of families in need has tripled. Philomath Gleaners provides participants with supplemental, locally grown food and firewood. Already in 2011 more than 2911 people received more than 50,000 pounds of food and over 40 cords of firewood. The Community Garden celebrates its third year of helping our neighbors help themselves and providing more needy families with fresh produce and fruit. Participating families learn to grow some of their own food. Produce is also grown for the Food Bank and Gleaners to use. Holiday Cheer helps bring presents and cheer to those who have missed the opportunity to receive help from other organizations. We cover thoses who may have been forgotten or overlooked.

Your generous gift will help our elderly and children obtain the assistance they need when they face difficult times. Nothing is more important than helping our very own when they have no place left to turn for a helping hand. You may designate your gift to one of the five program areas or where it is needed most. All donations are tax exempt.
We have been assisting the Philomath area in some manner for over 30 years.
We will not share your donor information, in any form, with any other organization or entity.

Thank you for your support.
Jeff Lamb, President

PCS reaches out and assists the community with five different programs managed by department heads with the oversight of the board of directors. The programs are comprised of Philomath Food Bank, Kids Kloset, Gleaners, Holiday Cheer and the Community Garden. You can make contact with board members and department heads here at our website where they each have their own page describing the missions and goals of our organization.
