A Recap of Our Community Events 2016!
We are passionate when it comes to helping those in need. Our entire staff thanks you for helping us pave the way to a better community. This entire year, Phillips Law Firm has partnered with King 5 on projects ranging from school supply drives, to building rain barrels, to gathering food at the annual Home Team Harvest. We don’t just work here, we’re part of this community.
Past Events
Northwest Harvest, 2016
As a father himself, Glenn has a passion for helping children. When children are hungry, they are at a disadvantage with more behavior problems and getting sick more often.
Did you know?
- One in five children live in a household struggling to put food on the table.
- Half of all people on SNAP (food stamps) are children.
- One in seven people rely on SNAP and one in five rely on a food bank.
- Most working-age people in Washington who are living in poverty are working or looking for work.
Would you like to donate?
If so, please feel free to drop off your non-perishable food donation anytime of year at either of our Phillips Law Firm Woodinville or Renton locations.

Make A Difference Day, Oct. 22, 2016
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this years Make a Difference Day, making it one of the biggest community service days of the year.
Working together, making a difference.
Glenn Phillips with PLF attorneys and staff members making a difference for clean water.
We spent this years Make a Difference Day volunteering our time building rain barrels for our community. We chose the project because we are passionate about clean water and conservation. Water defines our region. Clean water allows habitat to flourish but right now too much contaminated water is running into Puget Sound.
Thank you to all who came out to help!
Kids in Need Foundation: School Supply Drive July-August 2016
This is a first time event for Phillips Law Firm but turned out to be one of the most rewarding! It’s hard to think that so many children are without the proper school supplies they need to help them in the classroom. Thankfully we found the Kids in Need Foundation. Established in 1995, the Kids in Need Foundation has grown continuously and now has 38 resource centers throughout the nation and are responsible for helping over 4.8 million students annually. They take donations year round so help them reach their goal of making sure every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom (just click below!). You can also donate goods through Phillips Law Firm by stopping by our Renton or Woodinville locations. Click here to contact us!
“The start of a new school year can be exciting. But if you don’t have the necessary school supplies to be successful in class it can be one of the most stressful or embarrassing times for a child. That’s where we come in this summer. Phillips Law Firm is partnering with King5 to help local Kids in Need Foundation.” -Glenn Phillips

Operation Nightwatch – Seattle
The history of Operation Nightwatch goes back as far as 1967. Formally established in 1976, the organization has sought to pursue its mission of reducing the impact of poverty and homelessness while focusing on the core belief of love for our neighbor. Many of Phillips Law Firm staff have had the pleasure of serving the community through this wonderful organization by volunteering their time to feed the hungry and homeless. Unfortunately, this problem is all too real for too many of Seattle’s citizens. But if we work together, we can impact change. Help Operation Nightwatch meet their goal of ending homelessness.
Help us lead the way, help us pave a Road to a Better Community.
Northwest Harvest
This is Glenn’s favorite event! Each and every year he sets a new goal (one to surpass the years past) by donating and helping deliver thousands of meals to those in need. Northwest Harvest has been in operation since the late 1960’s, contributing immensely to the current needs in our society. At the time it began, homelessness and lack of food was a real problem for those stricken by poverty. But in 1970, when Boeing laid off about 60,000 workers, the need for food was no longer a poverty issue and was now a middle class problem. Since then the Northwest Harvest has been a staple to our community, providing on average two million meals per month! Help us meet the goal of ending hunger in Washington by stopping by our Woodinville or Renton offices to drop off non-perishable food goods!
