2009 in Review: PWC President’s Perspective
Posted on July 15, 2010 by jock pitts
The year 2009 represented a significant milestone for People Working Cooperatively. We expanded our energy conservation services into a third state, Indiana.
It’s significant, too, because this year PWC celebrates our 35th anniversary. Our growth is made possible because of your support and all of the tremendous help we’ve received in our local community.
In our 35 years, we’ve developed a business model of service that is efficient, cost effective and productive. We believe strongly that we are a business that provides a charity, a business that has a proven reputation of providing professional home repair and energy conservation services to those in need. The benefit to the community is profound, as demonstrated by the client stories in this report.
The work that PWC performs is needed. In our 35 years, we’ve learned how to provide those services in a professional manner that delivers tremendous value to the client, our funders, and the entire community. This is what’s needed in today’s housing arena, and we are ready to meet that need.
Our home is the Greater Cincinnati community, and our goal is to better strengthen and refine our mission work here. Looking ahead, we are evaluating broadening our scope of services into other communities. The need for PWC’s repair, energy conservation and modification services, and our unique delivery that utilizes both professionals and volunteers, literally allows people to remain safely in their homes. This service model and delivery system can be replicated in other areas across our country to cost effectively meet the needs of other low income homeowners.
I encourage you to consider taking the next step and volunteer your time to help an elderly homeowner, or donate to help a neighbor with a ramp or other life-changing modification or repair.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, our staff and all of our volunteers, I thank you for your dedication to PWC and look forward to your continued support.
