Celebrating 40 Years

40 Years AND 40 More To Come

We’re so proud that we’ve been in West Philly for 40 years.

It’s amazing to look back and see all that we have accomplished together. And we’re fired up about what we’re going to accomplish over the next 40—we're not just fighting poverty, we're helping our community thrive.

Because we have so much to celebrate, we’re not limiting our birthday to one day or one month. We’re going to celebrate all year. Each month, we’ll have an event to spotlight a different part of our mission, like the opening of our new playground, our fabulous volunteers, and our incredible neighbors. We’ll have events for everyone to enjoy—community BBQs, neighborhood cleanups, panel discussions and more.

And don't miss our big birthday bash, "40 Years Strong: Rising and Thriving," on October 19 at West Philly’s iconic Mann Music Center.

We’ll update this webpage throughout the year to keep you updated on our celebration. Make sure to also follow our social media accounts, where we’ll be sharing 40th Anniversary content under the hashtag #40YearsStrong.
