The Give Back to Christmas program began in December 2013 and has continually helped others in our community.

In the past, SEED Club has adopted families, helped students from PHS, as well as donated to the Marshall County Neighborhood Center. This year the club members held jeans days for teachers to help raise funds, food, and toiletries for the Marshall County Neighborhood Center.

On Wednesday, December 15, 2021 some members of SEED Club took the donations to the Marshall County Neighborhood Center. We are very thankful to all of the PHS staff for donating $400 and multiple food items and toiletries.
