PCU Community Foundation

Help soldiers' families
The PCU Community Foundation is excited to donate all proceeds raised October 1 – December 31, 2009 to Minnesota’s First Lady’s Military Family Care Initiative. This initiative is designed to help Minnesota military families during deployments.

The program allows military families to search an online database of community organizations that are willing to perform simple acts of kindness, such as mowing the lawn, shopping for groceries, preparing meals, etc. Community organization volunteers are then matched with families to provide the needed services.

Donate to this worthy cause today! You can make a one-time or reoccurring donation.* Thank you for your support.

* Please note, if you make a reoccurring donation, only funds collected October 1 – December 31, 2009 will be allocated to the Military Family Care initiative. Funds collected after December 31, 2009 will be distributed to other PCU Community Foundation causes.
