Programs

The primary objective for PACS is to provide open, accessible private care at the community level for those who have slipped through the cracks in governmental programs. Without this care, low income people tend to lose hope and are less able to find the strength to move on with their lives. “PACS is here at the end of the month when other resources have run out. PACS works in conjunction with, but separate from federal and state human services programs,” comments Rhonda Whitney, Executive Director.

The people that come to PACS for help are many and varied. A typical person, taken from a compilation of statistical evidence gleaned from individual records at PACS would be a Caucasian female, representing a family of four living on an income of $353 - $1,010 per month. A little over half of the individuals we serve are children. About half of the people we serve come to us only once. If they need help on an ongoing basis, we find the average length of time that individuals need help is about 15 months.
