Here to offer help, inspire hope, and impact futures.

Prestwick Community Outreach works alongside our neighbors to ease, uplift and encourage individuals, children and families, one situation, one challenge and one opportunity at a time.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weary and wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.

Our story

The Prestwick Community Outreach story

2020 The year a few neighbors started meeting, talking and working together.

A core group of civic-minded individuals began meeting, talking and collaborating in 2020, a year filled with uncertainty and suffering.

Our goal was, and still is, to partner with others throughout the beloved Washington, Clarke and Choctaw County communities in a collective effort to ease, uplift and encourage others, with a shared goal of improving the lives of individuals, children and families.

They say a journey of a thousand miles starts with one simple step. PCO is taking that step together with our local community. We can hardly wait to see where the journey leads us, our communities and our partners, one situation, one challenge and one opportunity at a time.

Our logo speaks to the heart of what PCO is about. Two outstretched hands lift up people of all colors, shapes and sizes, each with their own story of struggle and triumph. Supported by those hands, the people are lifted too, with hearts full of hope for the future.
