Check Out the New Website of Troy People Concerned
The non-profit service organization supporting Troy families dropped the news just in time for its Spring Pasta Dinner in April.

The following information was provided in a press release.
Troy People Concerned (TPC), a non-profit service organization supporting Troy families in times of need with assistance, information and referrals, unveiled their newly redesigned logo and website at troypeopleconcerned.org.
The newly-designed TPC website and new logo have a modern, clean design. The new website has information on TPC’s mission and vision as well as how the organization helps Troy families who find themselves in a crisis situation. Oftentimes, people have difficulties related to unforeseen medical issues, accidents or loss of employment. As a result, they face utility shut off, eviction or foreclosure.

TPC will assist qualifying, low income Troy residents with limited financial assistance. TPC also has referral information for the tri-county area to assist families related to food pantries, the local furniture bank and clothing closet.
"TPC was founded almost 40 years ago to assist low-income families and continues to be a very viable organization in the Troy community," Troy People Concerned Director Doris Nelson said. "In two of our most popular programs, TPC matches donors with families in need to provide holiday baskets and backpacks prior to the start of each school year."
