A great way to keep up and share key PCCY news

Hot off the presses, there’s a new way to get up to date on the issues facing children in the region and learn what we’re doing about them.

The Fall-Winter edition of our semi-annual newsletter Childwatch is now out! Our latest Childwatch hit PCCY donor mailboxes this week but now everyone can read it online. Our electronic edition has everything the print version does and, best of all, it makes sharing news you care about as easy as pushing a button.
