Pekin Outreach Initiative

Since 2012, POI has served meals, snack packs, toiletry kits, laundry help and other aid. An outreach center and day shelter has been our dream since we began and we are realizing that dream now. The Center will provide food, showers, laundry, toiletries and other forms of assistance to the homeless in our community.
