Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weary and wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
-George Washington Carver
The Prestwick Community Outreach Story
A core group of civic-minded individuals began meeting and talking and collaborating in 2020 - a year that was filled with uncertainty and suffering. Our goal was and is to partner with others throughout the beloved Washington, Clarke, and Choctaw County Communities in a collective effort to ease, uplift and encourage others with a shared goal of improving lives of individuals, children, and families.
Prestwick Community Outreach (PCO) grew out of these initial discussions and has now been established as a Private 501 c3 Nonprofit. Our Chief People Officer - Executive Director is a leader with a servant's heart and our Governing and Advisory Board members are intent on making a difference while uplifting humanity.
They say that a journey of a thousand miles starts with just one simple step. PCO is joining with our local community in taking this step. We can hardly wait to see where the journey may lead us, our communities, and other stakeholders - one situation, one challenge and one opportunity at a time.
The Prestwick Community Outreach Logo
Our logo speaks to the heart of what PCO is about. Two outstretched hands lifting up people - people of all colors, shapes and sizes - each with their own unique stories of struggle and triumphs. With the support from the outstretched hands the people are themselves uplifted with hearts which are filled with hope for the future. And so it is with Prestwick Community Outreach - we are here to offer help...to inspire hope... and to impact futures.
