PARCA has been allowed to resume curbside collections. We will be reopening our business on Monday, July 13, 2020. At first, we will limit our operation to confirmed collections only. You may not see our yellow solicitation card for several weeks. We are experiencing a backlog and are doing our best to accommodate each one of our donors.
