Together we can move mountains!
We are a NOT-FOR-PROFIT 501(c)(3) organization. P.A.S.C.O., Inc.'s funding is raised entirely by volunteers who give their time and talents to help our clients fulfill their basic necessities of life. All monies raised goes directly to our clients in need. We have no paid employees on staff; everything that is accomplished is through the dedication of our volunteers. When funding becomes available, P.A.S.C.O., Inc. provides financial assistance to those infected with the HIV virus. When all other avenues have been exhausted, P.A.S.C.O., Inc. will assist in the payment of such utilities as electric for cooking and heating, gas supplies for cooking and heating, local telephone services, rent, medical needs as well as other financial hardships that may occur as necessary.
Our mission is to help the men, women and children, infected and affected by HIV/AIDS with the many problems that can occur in their lifes.
