We are a resource for basic needs for people experiencing financial hardship, and help local residents with acquiring things like food support, living supplies, housing and utility assistance, and even direction for government support like the SNAP program.

Support the PNC

How has the PNC helped you?

Helped my family to make ends meet when finances were not enough.

Support during a hard spell in my life. People are nice.

The volunteer are helpful and friendly.

It has provided food when it was gone.

I would have gone hungry.

By getting food and living supplies when I was in dire need.

I can eat.

The ladies and men there are pure gems. They build my confidence as a mother by providing healthy food for my family.

When my husband died, I was so lonely and the ladies at the front desk were so wonderful.

When our family was in need, they were there to help us. The staff is so courteous, respectful and friendly.

I am a widow of 31 years – no pension of my own. Thank the Lord for the PNC.

Heating assistance, electric assistance, food for my children, clothes for my baby. You are appreciated!

When times are tough, always having food was a great help.

I can make better meals.

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the wonderful food and the rides and the help with the rent. Thanks to your kindness, my shoulders are a little stronger.

Your overwhelming generosity has made a huge difference during this difficult time. Words will never begin to express our sincere appreciation. Every single one of you has provided our family with respect, kindness, non-judgment, healthy food for our children and family.

It help my family because we have a very low income and are taking care of grandkids.

They have helped with food when we have nothing.

The PNC has been a saving grace. There is no way I would have clothed and fed my son without the PNC.

Every week I get milk and bread and the volunteers and all the men and ladies are so nice. It is a joy to come here – a real Godsend.

We look forward to giving back to the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center and someday to be able to help other families in need.

Helps with food when we are struggling.

Being a family of six, the PNC has helped with our struggles.

I am so grateful for your services. This has been one of the most difficult times in my entire life. I never knew anything like this existed prior to my learning about you.
