PCCSM will be open tomorrow (Sat., Nov 21) from 9 to noon for SYC signups. Be sure to have your intake form and SYC application filled out.

Sign up continues for Share Your Christmas. Each family will receive food and a gift bag for every member of the family. You need to call Salvation Army/COM and... let them know you want to sign up and set a time to pick up your intake form and an application for SYC. Fill out the form completely-front and back, and bring both papers to the PCCSM free store. If you have your form filled out you can drop it off, get your card for pick up, and not have to wait in line. Distribution will be DRIVE THROUGH ONLY. Call the PCCSM Center at 417-326-7179 on Mondays or Wednesdays between 10k and 3 for more information. See more

We had a great first week with 41 families (131 people) signing up for Share Your Christmas. We thank them for their patience as we relearn the computer program.... Here are a couple of things we want to remind you of - there is an application form this year that needs to be filled out BEFORE you come. It is available at Salvation Army/COM, OACAC, and PCCSM. Be sure to list two gift suggestions and sizes if needed. And be sure to fill out both sides. If you have this filled out, we can look it over, give you the voucher needed for pick up and send you on your way. There should not be much waiting time. Also, if you have children we encourage you to sign up early so that the gift suggestions may be put on the angel trees. If you wait to the last week, your suggestions may not be taken by shoppers at the stores where angel trees are located. See more
