Organization Description

PPSC is much more than a collection of 73 human services programs based on best practice research with measurable outcomes. We are a community of caregivers existing within the larger community whose sole purpose is to help make people’s lives better. We strive to do this one child, one adult, and one senior at a time. Last year we served over 12,000 people through our programs. The hands-on, face-to-face support that individuals receive from PPSC is wide-ranging; counseling, job placement, gang prevention, daily hot meals, rides to the doctor, case management, financial assistance for homeless prevention, informational and referrals… People Helping People. PPSC has five significant core service areas:

Aging Well Together – Home Delivered Meals, Adult Day Care, Case Management, Nutrition Site-Senior Cafe, Transportation, Balance Programs
Homeless Prevention, Fair Housing for the City of Petaluma
Employment & Training
Counseling – Individual, Couples & Family, Drug & Alcohol Prevention, Gang Prevention
Youth Programs – RYSE (youth employment), Mentor Me
