COMMUNITY RESOURCES
The members of PJWC understand that life can throw you curve balls when you least expect it and you find yourself in need of resources that can help you get back on your feet. We are a proud supporter of the charitable organizations in our local communities, some of which are listed below. In 2022 we were able to raise significant funds through our fundraising events like Clues for a Cause. Every Fall and Spring we hold two large fundraising events and multiple smaller ones throughout the year. We believe that paying if forward is the very best way to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will. Force, fraud, or coercion need not be present if the individual engaging in commercial sex is under 18 years of age. To report suspected human trafficking activity: Call 1-888-373-7888 ( TTY: 711) or Text 233733

At Green Harvest, they feel that these uncertain times have led us toward aiding low-income families, retirees, and the workers of our community who have recently lost their jobs. They believe that there is a serious problem today when parents must decide between feeding, providing shelter, or buying medicine for their children.
