PCC Healthy Kids is excited to once again join efforts with Seattle Children’s Hospital for our Families Helping Families program.

All month long, PCC will donate 5 percent of PCC Kid Picks product sales, up to a total of $10,000, to support the Children’s Organic Garden at Seattle Children’s Hospital. In spring 2013, the hospital launched the garden to teach patients and families how to develop and sustain healthy eating and lifestyle habits at home. The purpose of the garden is to provide a hands-on learning environment to help overcome barriers and promote sustainability of a healthy lifestyle, making a lasting impact in the lives of families. See the event page for more.
