PHPC Serves – 75th Anniversary Service Day

October 19

Celebrate PHPC’s 75th anniversary by taking part in PHPC Serves: 75 In a Day, where we honor 75 years of commitment to our community. Our goal is to complete over 75 acts of service in one day, serving alongside our community partners and deepening our understanding of the needs of our Dallas neighbors.

This day is a chance to continue our legacy of service, while also building connections with fellow members and introducing friends to PHPC’s mission. Join us in making a lasting impact and creating memories that reflect our ongoing dedication to caring for others.

Manna Bags for the Stewpot

Manna – in the Bible, the food miraculously provided for the Israelites in the wilderness during their flight from Egypt – “good things which have been provided as sustenance.” You are invited to meet the need of the hungry by providing a bag of food sustenance to our homeless friends on the street. Volunteers assemble Manna Bags in their homes to share with homeless neighbors and then drop them off in the atrium. List of suggested items will be provided.

Hope-in-a-Box for Hope Supply Co

The Hope-in-a-Box Project offers volunteers the chance to make a difference in the lives of kids in need through two meaningful projects. You can opt to create baby bath kits, ensuring babies stay clean and healthy, or you can choose to assemble birthday boxes filled with fun surprises, because every child deserves to feel special on their birthday. Whichever project you choose, you'll impact the lives of homeless and at-risk children, providing them with essentials and brightening their special days.

Electronic Recycling Event Promoter

PHPC is collaborating with the Preston Hollow Rotary Club to host an e-waste (electronic waste) collection event on Sunday, April 14. As an e-waste advocate, you can participate in two ways first by gathering your own outdated electronics for drop-off at the drive-through event and second by spreading the word to friends, family, and neighbors in the community and encouraging them to participate too. Items such as old computers, cell phones, printers, and televisions are just a few examples of e-waste we aim to recycle during this joint effort.
