PCA Giving Tree

It's that time of the year again! Christmas is coming - the New Year will soon be upon us.

It is also a time to think of the less privileged members of our community as we provide you with the opportunity to give in the spirit of the holiday.

This year the PCA Giving Tree will be online. In collaboration with the organizations, we have created Amazon wish lists, which enable you to purchase books, craft materials, food, blankets, feeding bowls etc. and it will be delivered directly to the organization.

We have collaborated with organizations that work with children, senior citizens, and animals. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the PCA.

The organizations we are supporting are:

Have a wonderful weekend.
