The Difference is You

Every cause needs people more than money, because when people are with you giving your cause their attention, interest, confidence, advocacy and service; financial support almost takes care of itself. Without volunteers of the right quality and quantity and in the right spirit of giving, St. Philip’s might not exist.

The volunteer has become a major force in our lives because it is not possible for humankind to live separated from others. We are involved in each other’s lives, not by choice but by necessity. Volunteering and Community Service contributes to the quality of life at St. Philip’s, in our neighborhoods, and in our country.
