Since 2020, the Greater Boston Plumbing Contractors Association (PCA) has donated $160,000 to charitable organizations. This year, the trade organization is focused on helping the homeless and it has given $35,000 to seven area charities supporting communities throughout greater Boston.
“The Greater Boston PCA is proud to support organizations serving the poor, homeless, and most vulnerable members of our communities, especially around the holidays,” said Greater Boston PCA President Kenneth Reagan. “Contractors employ thousands of skilled, licensed plumbers throughout the region, and we are proud to be able to give back to the communities where our members live and work every day.”
To date, PCA has presented $5,000 checks to three organizations: The Salvation Army’s Kroc Center, a recreation center for Boston Youth; Christmas in the City, which hosts a holiday party and provides support to homeless families and children in Boston; and Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, which provides health care for individuals/families experiencing homelessness in Boston.
Additional funds were donated to Community Servings, a nonprofit in Jamaica Plain, which provides healthy meals for families struggling with food insecurity; Father Bill’s, which operates homeless shelters in Quincy and Brockton; Rosie’s Place, which provides housing and support for homeless women and domestic violence victims in Boston; and the Greater Boston Food Bank, which distributes nutritious food to people who struggle to have enough to eat in Eastern Mass.
