Calling all workers: Volunteer Opportunities Available

The Southern Platte Emergency Assistance Center has become an integral part of Platte County and a beautiful way to love for our neighbors.

Here at PHCC we have worked many hours over the years helping further the mission of SPEAC. It is an integral part PHCC’s commitment to Serving our Lord.

Sometimes it happens, though. Sometimes things come up. Sometimes we need help ourselves.

Recently we found ourselves in need of more hands to reach out and serve.

Would you like to join us?

If you have 2 or 3 hours on any Thursday afternoon, we would love your help in continuing our service to this wonderful organization.

For more information contact:
Helen Wright (816) 468-0453 or

SPEAC formed in 1989 with one simple mission: to help alleviate hunger in Southern Platte County, Missouri. The partnership developed with several local churches and the United Services Community Action Agency. Supported by local congregations, the faith community, and civic organizations SPEAC is an independent 501(c)3 organization.

SPEAC is staffed by volunteers and its Board of Directors serves without compensation.
