About
Founded in 1992, People Who Care is a charity based in Prescott, United States working on elderly care, disability.
People Who Care is a non-profit based in Arizona that provides transportation and non-medical support services to adults who are unable to drive because of aging, disability or vision loss, so they can continue living independently. Its services are free of charge to clients, called Neighbors, and rely on volunteers and community donations. The organisation serves the Quad Cities area of Arizona, including Prescott, Chino Valley, Prescott Valley and Dewey. It was founded at a kitchen table in 1992 as Prescott People Who Care, legally renamed People Who Care in 2007 to reflect its wider service area. It runs an annual golf fundraiser, a donor circle for recurring giving, and low vision services. Donations are eligible for Arizona's Qualified Charitable Organization tax credit and are tax-deductible under IRS Section 170.
