The Hotel Phillips in Bartleville, OK has a steering committee made up of employees that decides where to use resources to help the local community.

In July the committe loaded up two ice chests of juice boxes and some sack-loads of snack cakes and set out for the Bartlesville Boys & Girls Club.  Approximately 75 hungry and eager children were served.

In August the committee had heard that a church in Pawhiska Oklahoma needed hand towels and washcloths to teach needy children good personal hygiene. The items were purchased and handed over to the church.

The ongoing projects of the committee are the acceptance of can food items at the Hotel Phillips front desk that are donated to local area food pantries as well as the stuffed animals collected for the Bartlesville Police Department. The BDP uses these toys as a comfort system to children in stressful situations and the committee wants to make sure enough stuffed animals are readily available. Stuffed animal donations may also always be made at the front desk in Hotel Phillips.
