Volunteer/Giving Opportunities

St. Philip welcomes community members to join us in the following 

Giving Opportunities

​

 

Habitat for Humanity-2020 House

Due to the COVID-19 situation, most of the Habitat work got moved to later in the summer, and also due to the small numbers of volunteers who are able to work with the new safety measures, a lot of the work will be done by contractors.

 

Here is the signup link for our house (please share with volunteers):

https://trinityhabitat.volunteerhub.com/lp/presbyterians/

 

Our house is still at 1253 New York Avenue, and our family is still the Habimana family.

The workdays planned are June 10, 17, 19, 20.

 

We will not need lunches, because the work times will be 7:15 am - 1:00 pm.

Furthermore, due to safety procedures, no shared food will be allowed on site. Individuals are encouraged to bring their own snacks kept in the car for breaks when they are needed. Bottled water will be provided. This is weird for us
Presbyterians, but we need to abide by the rules.

 

There will be a maximum of 10 volunteers and 3 supervisors on site, and also see the other requirements.

 

 

Kay Lynn’s Pantry

One ministry of St. Philip is to give to low income families 

with a Loan Star Card or SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) card items that do not qualify for this program.  Every 2 months families can pick up for free household items, likes soaps, cleaning supplies and paper products. 

Help us by collecting these supplies and dropping them off at 

the church office. (There are specific sizes we collect.) (Church office are Monday - Thursday, 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.; Friday, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.)

Project "Undy Sunday"
In January 2017 a church member brought a need for
 neglected and/or abused children entering foster care to our hearts.
Shortly after that, UNDY SUNDAY was born.
The 3rd Sunday of each month is declared "UNDY SUNDAY" at St. Philip.
New underwear, socks, Tshirts, sleepwear, and diapers are collected.
"First night bags" are filled with these items so children can enter their first placement
in foster care with new underwear, socks, sleepwear and some toiletries.
For more information call the church office at (817)282-9181
Or email  bonbrock@sbcglobal.net
