EDUCATIONAL SERVICES & SUPPORT GROUPS

Providing individuals information on local, state, and national life-changing resources.   Our mission is to empower the homeless, hungry, and hovering (working poor) to become self-sustaining and more productive residents in their communities-at-large. Annually we produce our community resource directory and share the community resources publication with local households of faith, our Kindness Partners, and police precincts. Our annual directory and monthly newsletter can be requested on our knowledge page.

neighborhood TABLING EVENTs**

Since 2017, we have shared community resources at neighborhood tabling events. At these tabling events we have been able to connect individuals with non-profit neighborhood and city-wide organizations that provide free local and national basic needs services that are available to impoverished individuals and/or families throughout Philadelphia.
