Thank You, Volunteers!
Big love to every PCC volunteer and our partners at Austin Eats who made Hoodies & Harvest Movie Night at the PCC Austin Family Health Center (5461 W. Lake St.) such a warm, community-filled evening.
From welcoming guests and leading garden tours to serving dinner bites, s’mores, apple cider, and keeping the popcorn flowing for Street Food: New Orleans, your energy powered the night.
Special shout-out to teams supporting the Best of the West Sweet Potato Pie Contest, the Verses & Vittles Lyrical Slam for youth, and our small-business friends who showed up for the neighborhood. Because of you, our community felt seen, fed, and celebrated—thank you!
