PACIFIC: A GIVING COMMUNITY

The question has often been posed, “What does Pacific do for the Community?” In this editor’s opinion, the question might more appropriately be asked, “What doesn’t Pacific do for the community?” In addition to the nearly 10,000 hours of community service and various outreach programs and activities over the past year, the Pacific community reaches out to those in need each holiday season.
