Donate & Volunteer

Donate today to help Mothers like Carrie:

Regardless of background or circumstances, all mothers share the overwhelming desire to keep their children safe and provide them with a happy life. PEC helps mothers facing homelessness do this every day. We connect them with the tools they need to overcome barriers to success.

“I was struggling. I had a two-year-old son James, and no job. I knew I had to make a change so that I could provide a good home for my son. That’s when I came to PEC for employment training. {more}...."

Volunteer

PEC started as an all-volunteer agency. We host dedicated volunteers every year who want to make a difference in the community. PEC is always looking for energetic people to lend a helping hand. 

Volunteer alone or with your family, your colleagues or your faith community. Commit to one day, once a week, or once a month – your time and presence can be so very important. You could volunteer for a few weeks or months, or even make a year-long commitment to helping PEC further its mission.
