What
Community Services is all about -
-
The
Pleasant Hill Community Services Center provides
food and clothing for many low income and out-of-work
residents of our community. During 2001, Community
Services volunteers served more than 7,562 clients,
and gave away food worth more than $45,500, and
80,000 items of clothing plus bedding. The center
is an Emergency Food Pantry for referrals from
the Contra Costa County Social Services Department.
-
Volunteers
are the heart and soul of the Pleasant Hill Community
Services Center. Current Community Services volunteers
are: Theo Davis, Barbara Gadd, Warren and Pat
Hayashi, Anna Herbert, Brantley and Evelyn Johnson,
Sandra McMahon, Betty Owiecki, Elsie Stahlman,
Steve Swan and Maisie Tan.
-
There
is no paid staff. The volunteers are very special.
They choose to share their own valuable time to
help others, not for dollars, but for the satisfaction
they receive in helping others and for making
a difference for good in this world.
-
The
Community Services Center receives donations from
the Contra Costa County Food Bank, American Red
Cross, Project Share, Pathfinders Food Drive,
the Superbowl of Caring and from members of the
Pleasant Hill Church family and others. The Center
also receives financial support from the Pleasant
Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church.
