Ju’Coby Pittman speaks to media about the gift of $100,000 dollars given to the Clara White Mission on Nov. 16. Clara White board chair Michelle Paul, veteran client Russell Graney, Seth Pajcic of Pajcic and Pajcic, veteran client Wayne Stephens and Clara White president and CEO Ju’Coby Pittman gathered to announce the gift during the check presentation.

When Seth Pajcic of The Law Firm of Pajcic and Pajcic handed Ju’Coby Pittman, CEO and president of Clara White Mission, a check for $100,000 Nov. 16, it was to continue the Pajcic tradition of giving back to the community.

“Ever since my dad and uncle started the firm, they thought about how they could give back to the community. With this check we are trying to continue a tradition of giving back, especially to important charities like Clara White and what they do, feeding people, providing housing (for veterans), and job training,” said Seth Pajcic. “People that can, this is our time to step up and do a little extra and that’s what we’re doing. We are fortunate to have the means to donate and give to a mission like Clara White and make our community a better place.”

Pittman said the donation would be a game-changer for her nonprofit. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Clara White has been struggling as many charitable organizations have been, lacking volunteers and resources to feed hundreds of individuals and families every day. The money will help the mission stay open and continue to feed people and provide packaged goods to families who have come to depend on it, she said. “We are a safety net. We’ve been around 117 years,” she said. “Today I didn’t expect this check, but I can tell you we need it more now than ever,” she said.
