How has the PNC helped you?

The volunteer are helpful and friendly.

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

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

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

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.

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

I have some place to go when I run out of money.

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

Helps with food when we are struggling.

They have helped with food when we have nothing.

It has provided food when it was gone.

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.

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

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

Allows me to be able to feed my children.

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

Stretches out our monthly money.

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

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

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

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

I would have gone hungry.

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.
