Piedmont Community Service Crew
Donate
Whether you choose to donate your time or money, PCSC is incredibly grateful for all support given by our members and volunteers. Every dollar goes to a cause that is striving to do great work in our community. We urge you to support our efforts in any way that you can!
Under the direction of our VP Fundraising, PCSC raises roughly $20,000 every year for our partner organizations such as our parent org, Piedmont Council BSA and Tiny House. Read below to see why we choose these organizations and the ways that you can help support the amazing work that our crew does.
FOS (Friends of Scouting):
FOS (Friends of Scouting) is the annual fundraiser for Piedmont Council of Boy Scouts of America, our parent organization. These donations, made on behalf of PCSC, go directly to our local council office on Highland Ave, and that money stays in our community to support Piedmont Council, whose youth development programs cultivate character building via leadership opportunities.
Our suggested amount is $300 per member, and a "minimum" donation of $50 is built in to crew dues. We encourage you to donate more when paying dues. Please include a note on your dues payment to indicate how much your FOS donation is included.
Tiny House:
Since 2019, PCSC has been planning and building tiny homes for unsheltered youths, ages 18 to 24. By addressing the need for stable housing, consistent access to essential services, and the support of a peer-driven community, PCSC hopes to help in transforming the lives of unsheltered young people and break the cycle of homelessness.
Two have already been built and are part of the Youth Spirit Artworks Tiny House Village on Hegenberger Ave in Oakland. In 2023, PCSC joined forces with the new Richmond Tiny House Village, Farm and Garden - we are nearing completion of our 3rd tiny house for this new village.
