The Issue

***ver abajo para español. . . .***

Dear members of the community,

We are writing to rally support for a cause that is near and dear to our hearts – securing the much-needed repairs for a building that has generously housed our non-profit organization for almost 13 years.

As many of you know, our community center has been a vital hub for various activities, events, and services that have brought us closer together. Countless memories have been created within these walls, and it has become a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to learn, grow, and connect. However, last year a vehicle had driven into our building, causing immense damage. But as repairs were completed, city inspections had shed more light on even further internal upgrade required first to open the building.  This was an unforeseen expense unfortunately to PNC.

The generous support from PNC Bank has been instrumental in enabling us to use this space all these years. Now, we are seeking their continued partnership in allowing us to take on the additional costs to restore this historical building to its former glory. Our vision is not just to fix the structural issues but to create an even more inclusive and accessible space for everyone.

We firmly believe that together, as a united community comprised of residents of Plainfield and surrounding communities, together with partner organizations, we can demonstrate to PNC Bank the immense value this center holds in our lives. Your signature on this petition will be a powerful statement, showing PNC Bank the overwhelming support from the community to allow us to refurbish our beloved space. 

By signing this petition, you are not just endorsing a mere building repair; you are contributing to the preservation of a sanctuary that fosters unity, learning, and cultural exchange. We envision a revitalized space that will continue to serve as a safe have for families, for learning and growth, and a venue for community gatherings and events.

The repairs we seek to undertake will not only benefit us but also amplify the positive impact we have on the broader community. From community events to adult education initiatives that empower individuals, this space has been a catalyst for change and progress.

We urge you to lend your voice and support by signing this petition and encouraging others to do the same. Together, let's make it clear to PNC Bank that the restoration of this community center is a cause worth championing. Our collective efforts will ensure that future generations can experience the same sense of belonging and opportunity that we cherish today.

Thank you for your time and unwavering support. Together, we can make a difference! If you can sign as soon as possible.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Carmen Salavarrieta

Director/ Co-founder

Estimados miembros de la comunidad,


Le escribimos para reunir apoyo para una causa que es cercana y querida para nuestros corazones: asegurar las reparaciones tan necesarias para un edificio que ha albergado generosamente a nuestra organización sin fines de lucro durante casi 13 años.


Como muchos de ustedes saben, nuestro centro comunitario ha sido un centro vital para varias actividades, eventos y servicios que nos han unido más. Se han creado innumerables recuerdos dentro de estas paredes, y se ha convertido en un lugar donde personas de todas las edades y orígenes pueden reunirse para aprender, crecer y conectarse. Sin embargo, el año pasado un vehículo se había metido en nuestro edificio, causando daños inmensos. Pero a medida que se completaron las reparaciones, las inspecciones de la ciudad arrojaron más luz sobre las mejoras internas adicionales que se requieren primero para abrir el edificio. Desafortunadamente, este fue un gasto imprevisto para PNC.


El generoso apoyo de PNC Bank ha sido fundamental para permitirnos usar este espacio todos estos años. Ahora, estamos buscando su asociación continua para permitirnos asumir el adicional para restaurar el edificio a su antigua gloria. Nuestra visión no es solo solucionar los problemas estructurales, sino crear un espacio aún más inclusivo y accesible para todos.

Creemos firmemente que juntos, como una comunidad unida, podemos demostrarle a PNC Bank el inmenso valor que este centro tiene en nuestras vidas. Tu firma en esta petición será una poderosa declaración que mostrará a PNC Bank el abrumador apoyo de la comunidad para permitirnos renovar nuestro querido espacio.


Al firmar esta petición, no solo respalda la reparación de un edificio; estás contribuyendo a la preservación de un santuario que fomenta la unidad, el aprendizaje y el intercambio cultural. Visualizamos un espacio revitalizado que continuará sirviendo como un lugar seguro para las familias, para el aprendizaje y el crecimiento, y un lugar para reuniones y eventos comunitarios.


Le instamos a que preste su voz y apoyo firmando esta petición y alentando a otros a hacer lo mismo. Juntos, dejemos claro a PNC Bank que la restauración de este centro comunitario es una causa que vale la pena defender. Nuestros esfuerzos colectivos garantizarán que las generaciones futuras puedan experimentar el mismo sentido de pertenencia y oportunidad que apreciamos hoy.
Gracias por su tiempo y apoyo incondicional. ¡Juntos podemos hacer la diferencia!


Con sincera gratitud,
Carmen Salavarrieta
