We have a board of directors, which meets annually, for a business meeting and election of new officers. We do as much as we can to promote local opportunities for community groups that partner with us on projects.PC Foundation has been privileged to work with many projects and groups over our 30 year history. Here are just a few:  Wisconsin Books to Prisoners is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that sends books to prisoners in Wisconsin as well as prisoners in other states.

We partner with local activists and restaurants to provide delicious, sustaining, and cruelty-free vegan meals to vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. Project goals: 1) support and sustain the protesters; 2) support local vegan (or vegan-friendly) businesses; 3) increase the visibility of vegans in the larger social justice community, and show our alignment and solidarity with other social justice movements (e.g., labor, economic justice and civil rights movements), and 4) introduce non-vegans to delicious, healthy, ethical vegan food For more information on on “Vegan Protest Fuel” check out: http://veganprotestfuel.com/ ************ The Salasaca Health Clinic Project, Ecuador www.RhumyWaraEcuador.org  The government health clinic in Salasaca is staffed by a part time nurse and consists of 3 rooms. The first room has a small refrigerator, an adult scale, and a baby scale. The second room has posters showing the symptoms of tuberculosis and the importance of vaccinations for children. The third room is where patients are seen. When the health needs assessment was completed, it was concluded that there really was no health care for the nearly 10,000 indigenous people living in the area. The goal of the Salasaca Health Clinic Project is to build a modern clinic complete with laboratory, diagnostic equipment and pharmacy. We would like to offer both western and traditional medicine from the Andes and Amazonia. Your support is greatly appreciated.
