Giving Tuesday: I’m Not Okay

“It’s gonna be alright, it’s not okay, but we’re all gonna be alright.” Every year when I sit down to write this letter, I consider it my way to share with all of you not only the work we do at Petaluma People Services Center, but also my way to share with you the need in our community. PPSC continues to stay true to our mission and we expect to work with over 45,000 community members this year.
