Care & Connect Breakfast:

A Great Way to Start the Day!

In March, PPCC was excited to host a brand new event: the Care & Connect Breakfast. This one-hour breakfast and program was an opportunity for guests who toured our center over the last year to gather, hear stories from our staff, and consider supporting the center through their gifts. PPCC has established a new opportunity for supporters called the Forrester-Beck Giving Society. As a result of the breakfast, we are thrilled to welcome 12 new founding members to the giving society. It’s not too late for you to become a founding member too!

Visit our website or contact Ford McFall at fordmcfall@peninsulapastoral.org to learn more.

We are grateful to our sponsors for the Care & Connect Breakfast.

Thank you to:

TowneBank (Sponsor of Wholeness)

Hampton Roads Pediatric Dentistry (Sponsor of Wellness)

Goodrich & Watson Insurers, Inc. (Sponsor of Care)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

"Mental Health in a Changing World” is the theme for this year’s Mental Health Month. The organization Mental Health America reminds us, "In a world that is constantly evolving, it can be overwhelming to navigate the various challenges and changes happening around us.” This is true no matter what your age or stage in life!

To better support individuals, couples, and families on the Peninsula, PPCC will host seminars during the month of May from 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm in the PPCC Conference Room. A different topic will be addressed each week to include marriage enrichment, parenting skills, caregiving, and grief. For more details, visit our website and register online!
