Empowering our community together
Our mission and values
Polish American Community Resource Center (PCRC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Polish and underserved individuals, families, and seniors access essential public benefits and community resources.
We provide free assistance with navigating and applying for programs such as Medicaid, SNAP food assistance, LIHEAP energy assistance, Benefit Access, and senior benefit programs, as well as connections to other available social and community resources.
Our mission is to make essential services easier to understand and access by providing compassionate, culturally responsive support and helping community members connect with programs that promote stability, independence, and well-being.

Healthcare resources
Our team provides assistance with Medicaid applications, eligibility information, renewals, and connecting individuals with available healthcare and supportive services.
Social support
We provide compassionate, personalized support to help community members understand available programs, navigate the application process, and connect with the appropriate agencies and services.
