Picis Sent Donations to Homeless Families and the Citizens Inn

Written by Admin | February 5, 2018

At our Picis conference this past April we launched a new yearly campaign called #PicisGivesBack. Employees were put into teams and each team member was given a t-shirt with the hashtag on the back, and a bag to be filled with goodies. We ordered items for preschool aged boys, girls, and unisex along with items for teenagers and adult/seniors. We printed tags for each of these age categories and sorted the items on tables by each category. We asked that everyone fill a bag with the items that matched their specific tag. In total we filled 140 bags.

These bags included:

  • Activity Books
  • Crayons/Pencil Crayons
  • Crossword/Sudoku
  • Silly Putty
  • Picis Fish
  • Playing Cards

We had team members deliver these bags between two charities: Peter A Torigian Senior Center (part of the council of aging) and the Citizens Inn, transitioning homeless families.
