Payson Community Kids
Back-to-School Backpack program is for children enrolled in the PCK program. At Christmas the children enjoy a party and receive presents.
Why PCK matters
PCK began when Marcy Rogers discovered that children had no where to go after school. What began as a group of just a few is now a full scale program serving an average of 90 children a day, sometimes more. 90% of the children who attend are from low income or working poor families.
In Payson there is no Y program, nor any Boys and Girls Club. There is only PCK as a year round program at no cost to those who attend.
PCK is truly a place for children to belong. MORE
Who we serve
Many children are from families that face a variety of challenges: single parent homes, a parent in prison, living with relatives, living in the domestic violence shelter, or homelessness to name a few.
This makes the services PCK provides even more crucial. PCK serves as a place where children develop friendships, feel safe, encounter adults who nurture and care about them and engage in interesting and fun activities. It is a program that helps children meet expectations of treating others kindly and striving to make good decisions.
Thanks to all our sponsors and supporters!
