Village Strong HIGHLIGHTING THREE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS Without the help and volunteerism of corporations like Tolleson Wealth Management and Ernst & Young (EY), the “Village” of St. Philip’s would not be what it is today. Our volunteers happily contribute their time, talents, and efforts to create a better environment for those we serve daily in and around the South Dallas area. Below are ways a few of our dynamic partners recently dedicated their time to St. Philip’s: << Tolleson Wealth Management In August, Tolleson Wealth Management participated in a food and supply drive to support Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry. Tolleson Wealth Management contributed approximately $3,000 in online donations and 2,000 pantry items and products for individuals and families who receive support from the Pantry. Tolleson Wealth has participated on a yearly basis in support of St. Philip’s with various volunteer opportunities since 2019.
Ernst & Young (EY) >> EY spent a Friday morning on November 9, helping prep our campus for St. Philip’s Ribbon Cutting & Unveiling event. These wonderful volunteers, with excitement and a drive to work, rearranged furniture for the Landin Family Literacy Library where tutoring is held, shelved books in the Trammell Crow Library, helped plant flowers at the front of our building, and spent time virtually reading books to our students! The time and effort they invested in just one day, will be remembered by students, faculty and staff.
Episcopal School of Dallas (ESD) The Episcopal School of Dallas (ESD) students volunteered in Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry stocking and sorting items for individuals and families in the community. Students also spent time helping put food in neighbors’ vehicles. During this volunteer opportunity, we received 200 sports balls (footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs) and other athletic items for the Christmas Store. The ESD volunteer team also delivered Christmas boxes to senior citizens in the community. 34
