On Saturday, the Pine Hills Community Council (PHCC) celebrated its 4th annual parade. This year, over 700 participants, including city and county elected officials, attended the parade. Saturday’s parade was held in partnership with the Pine Hills Safe Neighborhood Partnership, and the Pine Hills Seniors.
Participants showcased their talent, skills, and unique abilities through dance, art, music, floats, marching bands and customs.
The council also hosts a festival immediately following the parade which featured music, entertainment, food trucks and giveaways.
PHCC has a long history of caring for their community. According to their website, in 1972, the Pine Hills Women’s Club, while trying to solve a problem with the Orange County Sewer System, came across the idea of forming a Community Council. To do this, the PHCCs acts as a nonprofit, nonpartisan political membership organization; since 1972, the Council has brought together businesses, individuals, and delegates from community organizations to focus their combined efforts toward improving the life values in the Pine Hills community. After years of dedication from its members, the Council enjoys the support of the community and the respect of our County, State, and Federal Government.
The mission of the PHCC is to advocate for a clean, safe, and prosperous community by coordinating efforts to enhance civic engagement, social well-being, and economic growth for all who live and work in Pine Hills.
