Aside from the food pantry, PICA organizes several other programs:
The Friday evening Community Meal feeds 11-12,000 people a year, most of whom are homeless or residents of subsidized housing. The meal takes place at 14 Mathewson St. in Providence.
The Resident Advocate provides supportive services, crisis intervention, and homeless prevention to the most fragile, multi-issued residents of Dexter Manor, a 10-story public housing unit downtown.
The Homeless Outreach Conselor invites the homeless in for services including help with housing, legal issues, sobriety programs, and advocacy at court. He also distributes basic needs items such as clothing, toiletries, small household items, and food. This program is located at the First Universalist Church, 250 Washington St., Providence.
