Mission
PUTNAM CHRISTIAN OUTREACH, INC. WAS ORGANIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF HELPING NEEDY FAMILIES AND INVIDIUALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. NEEDS ARE ASSESSED BY A COMMITTEE, AND IF CRITERIA ARE MET, FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS MAY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF FOOD, CLOTHING, AND/OR FINANCIAL AID FOR PRESCRIPTIONS, MEDICAL NEEDS, AND HOUSING/UTILITIES. THE ORGANIZATION IS SUPPORTED PRIMARILY BY DONATIONS FROM INDVIDUALS AND AREA CHURCHES. OPERATING OVERHEAD IS MET THROUGH SALES OF DONATED ITEMS FROM THE PCO THRIFT SHOP. LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE RECIEVED ASSISTANCE THROUGH THIS ORGANIZATION, THE VALUE OF WHICH CANNOT BE DETERMINED.
