We all share the same vision of social change on the East Coast
PSEC provided $13 million worth of social services to the East Coast region this year. Although some government funding is received, we are responsible for raising the shortfall to ensure that these vital services remain free to the people who need them most. There are many ways that you or your business can get involved to support the local work that we do. Here are a few ideas and we welcome new ideas from you too.
