Three ways you can help future gunsmiths:

1. Bring a non-perishable food item for PGS’ student food pantry. Food insecurity is more common among college students than you think – some experience it here too.

2. Purchase delicious baked goods at Range Day. All proceeds will benefit the PGS Emergency Student Fund. Donations will directly help students in need of emergency assistance for paying for basic living expenses.

3. Donate to the New Beginnings Scholarship Foundation, whose goal is to provide students who are socially or economically disadvantaged and in need of financial assistance to further their education in their chosen career. Funds can be earmarked for PGS Students and donations are tax deductible. More information is available at www.nbsfoundation.org. We will have Donation Pledge forms and addressed envelopes at Open House and Range Day. Checks should be payable to “New Beginnings Scholarship Foundation”.
