About this Opportunity

In order for families and children who are at-risk to stabilize and stay together, they need access to an extended support network and local resources. That’s where the Primary Care Community, or PCC, comes in.

A PCC is a group of about five volunteer families who come alongside one specific family to help meet physical, financial, spiritual, and emotional needs. When volunteers serve in a PCC, they’re like a kind neighbor, part of a much-needed support system for a family in crisis.
A few ways PCC volunteers will serve a family include:
• Providing a weekly meal
• Helping to supplement groceries
• Showing support during birthdays and holidays
• Enjoying a monthly meaningful activity together
• Providing support during a crisis
• Offering spiritual and emotional support, through prayer, encouragement, and coaching

We ask that all volunteers commit to serving from 6 months up to 24 months. It isn’t unusual during this time to build a relationship with the family. In fact, it’s encouraged! That’s one of the things volunteers love the most about serving in a Primary Care Community! By becoming a Care Community volunteer you can make a significant difference in the life of a family!
