Hundreds of seniors without adult children in town would not get to needed medical treatments like dialysis? Hundreds of disabled adults would not be able to get to work and maintain employment. And hundreds more who cannot afford to maintain a vehicle would not be able to get to work either.

If you would like to support this vital program, NOW IS THE TIME! Through our Neighborhood Assistance Tax Credit Program (NAP), it will only cost you about $20 for every $100 you donate to PCACS when you file your 2010 taxes. To take advantage of this opportunity, make your check payable to PCACS with “NAP” noted on your check and mail to 1005 Campbell Street, Valparaiso, IN 46385.
