Placer Care Coalition, Inc (PCCI) supports four local agencies.  The following will give you an idea of the number of people served and the types of services being offered by these agencies each month and every year.

Lazarus Project helps the homeless men and women in Placer County get back on their feet.  They deliver hope by providing food, housing, clothing, guidance, counseling, education, job training, parenting classes, and access to health care.  Since 1999, over 200 men and women have been assisted by this program.  They provide transitional homes and comprehensive support services.  Each home provides an uplifting environment that enables and empowers each participant to become self-sufficient.

What Would Jesus Do? provides a staff of volunteers who provide food, hot coffee, and soup seven days a week to the homeless persons who sleep on the street.  They also provide referrals, and transport them to medical appointments, the Employment Development Department and Veterans agencies. In a typical year, WWJD feesds over 18,500 people, which is the equivalent of 37,000 meals in the Placer County area. In conjunction with St. Vincent de Paul, WWJD has operated a medical clinic in which we have seen over 1000 patients, given out 500+ free prescriptions, nearly 400 TB tests, 100+ flu shots and 28 mammograms. Many homeless adults received free medical care through their Wednesday morning clinic, and babies receive their inoculations along with formula and diapers.

Roseville Home Start provides transitional housing for up to a year in a drug and alcohol-free environment for families with children, helping them with personal counseling, money management, and educational skills.  Home Start strives to see these families gainfully employed and into their own homes.  They serve on the average 100 persons a month.

St. Vincent De Paul provides a wide variety of assistance to the working poor and the homeless.  During the year 2006 they served 2,000 hot meals a month, and they serve over 75 seniors a month with their Brown Bags and Brown Box Programs.    They were also able to house 21 destitute families in their transitional living units and gave assistance with rent and utility bills to needy renters. 

We realize that these agencies are experiencing budget cuts from the State and County.  With this in mind, our goal for the 2010 “Raising Spirits” fundraiser on Sunday, May 2, 2010 is to provide each agency with a check for $10,000.  We can only do this with sponsorship, auction items, attendance, and financial support from local businesses.

We are an all volunteer non-profit organization.  As such we have no overhead costs.  For more information, please call Janette Moynier 783-1222.
