Pine Hills Beautification Day
Pine Hills Beautification Day
Our Purpose Project hosted a successful Pine Hills Beautification Day on November 15, 2025, bringing together volunteers, families, students, and community partners to clean, plant, mulch, and refresh areas throughout Pine Hills. With donated supplies, volunteer crews, and strong neighborhood support, we made a visible impact in just one morning of service.

We are grateful for these Purpose in Action Partners who invested in the safety, care, and pride of Pine Hills.

“I didn’t know where to turn when my light bill got too high. Our Purpose Project stepped in and helped. It wasn’t just the lights staying on it was hope. Knowing someone cares enough to help you through means everything.” –Alexis Wilson, Single Mom of 7
“I needed help filling out online job applications, and the team at Our Purpose Project didn’t give up on me. They sat with me, guided me, and celebrated when I finally got hired. It’s been a long time since I felt that kind of support.” Ronald Murdaugh, Older Community Member
