Local Missions

Within our Hattiesburg community, Parkway Heights is involved with the following ongoing mission opportunities:

Breadbasket: This ministry of “Interfaith Volunteers” meets emergency food needs of those in our area. Volunteers transport food from the pantry to the pick-up site or take requests by phone.

Edward’s Street Community Center: The Edward’s Street Community Center offers a variety of ministries to the surrounding community, including a food pantry, women’s ministries and scouting programs.

Habitat for Humanity: Parkway Heights is involved in the local Habitat for Humanity chapter which helps provide adequate housing for qualified home owners. We will be a part of the upcoming 10-house build of “Celeste Place” in September. (link)
