Serve With Us
Serving others, in our own backyard and around the world, has been at the heart of West Side's ministry since the church was founded in 1912.
Here are some ways we can use our gifts to give back.

Build Day with Habitat for Humanity
Eva's Village
The mission of Eva's Village is to provide those in need with hope, support and resources to live stable, healthy and productive lives.
Eva’s Village is dedicated to ensuring that community members experiencing poverty, food and housing insecurity, underlying issues with substance use, mental or physical health disorders and lack of job readiness have the tools they need to overcome barriers to healthy, stable lives.
Eva’s Community Kitchen prepares and serves hundreds of thousands of free healthy meals to community members experiencing or at risk of homelessness and poverty each year. But, Eva’s Kitchen is more than a place for a free meal; it is often a point of entry to our comprehensive antipoverty programs and many neighbors choose to take the next step toward recovery, stability and wellbeing.
Next Volunteer Opportunities: November 28 and December 26 (sign-up coming soon!)

Rise Against Hunger
West Side Presbyterian, DePhillips Hall
Upcoming dates: Saturday, October 3 (two packing sessions, sign-up coming soon!)
Join us as we make a difference together! We are partnering with Rise Against Hunger to pack 20,000 meals for families facing hunger around the world. This hands-on service project is a wonderful way to make a global impact while serving side by side with friends and family.
Bring your friends and family and help us turn compassion into action. Together, we can help feed the hungry and bring hope to communities in need.

Plastic Bag Recycling
Don't throw away your produce bags, bubble wrap, newspaper sleeves, or dry cleaning bags. Bring them to West Side! Drop your clean, dry, recyclable plastic bags in one of the white bins located in the lobby and narthex.
Not sure what's recyclable?
Here's a test: If the plastic stretches when you pull it, it's recyclable. If it tears like paper, is shiny, or makes a crinkly sound in your hand (like a chip bag or a candy bar wrapper), it's NOT recyclable.
Donations may be dropped off at West Side Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, or Sunday, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.
