Thanks to an ongoing partnership with a few local grocery stores and bakeries, we are able to offer donated day-old baked goods for the public to pick up. We receive two shipments a week including a variety of breads, buns, croissants, and desserts. These items can be found in a large plastic bin on the main floor of the Community House. Please bring your own bags. No cost for this program.   

All Pinecrest Terrace Tenants are invited to join the Pinecrest Terrace Tenant Circle. At the meetings, tenants and Community House Staff come together to share ideas and plan together.
