Hope Can’t Wait: What’s Ahead This Giving Tuesday and Holiday Season
The holiday season is officially here, and at PFC, we’re entering one of the most important times of the year for our guests, residents and all our Detroit neighbors in need. As temperatures drop and needs rise, your compassion will help provide warmth, stability and hope when it matters most.
A Special Message from Fr. Tim 🎥
Now more than ever, hope can’t wait.
Watch this special message from Fr. Tim as we get ready to enter the holiday season:
Please share it with your friends, family and community, as every share helps more people learn about the work happening inside our Day Center and across our Bridge Housing Campus.
