Success Stories

St. Philip’s School & Community Center

Generous support from the Hersh Foundation enabled St. Philip’s School and Community Center to successfully implement its core programs as our region’s only predominantly African-American Pre-K through 7th grade private school in the midst and aftermath of the world pandemic. This includes the School and the organization’s largest social service – Aunt Bette’s Community Pantry, that was able to remain operational in these unprecedented times.
