From the Director
Hi Family and Friends!
As many of you might know, funding for our organizations and service projects have been dramatically cut to due to our economic crisis, but PEP is not willing to reduce our services to the Filipina/o American community. Please join us in insuring that our youth continue to receive the education that they deserve!
Please feel free to donate by sending a check to The Filipino Community Center/PEP at 35 San Juan Avenue or by using the Paypal button below.
(Paypal does not require an account to use and the money goes to us directly)
Thanks,
Allyson
