PeopleCare, Inc. is one of three agencies making up St. Paul's Community Services Corporation. The agency was established in 1990 and incorporated in 1991 to provide the kind of person-to-person contact that is essential to the spiritual and emotional well-being of the homebound elderly. While starting simply, the expanding needs of the community made it necessary to enlist the help of the churches in our service area. To this day, many of them actively support and help fulfill PeopleCare's mission.

PeopleCare remains as strongly committed to its mission today as it was when it began and continues to provide that all important link between the homebound and the outside world. The quality of life is all important…and PeopleCare is committed to identify and provide services not otherwise provided within the community.
