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 Since 1998, The Lazarus Project has been the only non-profit organization to provide low or no cost housing for homeless men and women in our coummunity.  For those men and women in our community who have little to no income and are on the verge of becoming homeless, The Lazarus Project has become their last hope for housing before being sent to a shelter or to live on the streets.  For those men and women in our community who have little to no income and are homeless, The Lazarus Project has become their only and best hope for returning to a life filfilled as a contributing member of our community.  Within our homes our staff creates an environment of success where program participants can attain economic and social well-being by overcoming the issues that contributed to their situation.  In short...we provide a hand up - not a hand out.

What Would Jesus Do? provides meals to the homeless and working poor in Placer County.  We also provide referrals and transportation to medical appointments, Employment Development Department offices, and Veterans’ agencies. In conjunction with St. Vincent de Paul, WWJD helps with the operation of a medical clinic which sees over 1000 patients a year and provides free prescriptions to those in need.

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's on-site residence provides a 99 bed facility that can serve up to 28 families at any given time.  They strive to see these famiies gainfully employed and into their own homes and continue to support 10-12 graduat families each year.  Home Start has been providing hope to homeless families with children from Placer County and beyond since 1995.

St. Vincent De Paul provides a wide range of services to the working poor and the homeless in our area.  Our Food Locker feeds over 800 families each month. The Dining Room offers a hot lunch five days per week.     Our Medical Clinic provides medical care and prescriptions for the uninsured and underinsured. Lastly, the Thrift Store supplies free clothing and furniture for families in need. 

We realize that these agencies are experiencing budget cuts from the State and County.  With this in mind, our goal for the 2012 “Raising Spirits” fundraiser on Sunday, April 22, 2012 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.
