“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate acts of its members.”
PCFC's priority is to provide fresh, healthy, and culturally appropriate foods and household items for our athletes and their family members. PCFC provides nutritional support in two ways:
Food to the Families: PCFC is committed to taking tangible steps to increase nutritional quality and standards for our players and their families. In 2023 we formalized a partnership with Wild Diversity to use space at their facility (across the street from our practice field!) to store dry goods and operate a monthly food pantry. Each month we provide fresh produce, eggs and dairy products in addition to dry goods for up to 15 families. For many families, a healthy and well-balanced meal comes second, or third, to paying housing and medical bills, or even gas to get to work. PCFC is committed to eliminating this barrier and providing culturally appropriate and nutritional food monthly for our players and their family members.
Food on the Field: Active youth, have an increased need for energy and essential nutrients. Eating adequate calories is important, but may be difficult to consume all at one time. Eating meals and snacks help kids get all the nutrients they need. PCFC provides all youth athletes, ages 6-18, healthy snacks prior to and after every game and practice, each week.
